The total for each loop is approx 120 ft.
The reason for giving 2 separate supply lines was the worry that the 2nd set of baseboards would not provide enough BTU's. I believe the temp drop from the first set of baseboards would reduce the water temp to around 170 degrees (starting temp of 180). I don't have any wall space left to add more baseboard to compensate for the lower water temps, therefore pushing a starting temp of 180 into both sets would maximize my heat output.
