Tarp with 11 foot ridgeline pitched over a hammock with ridgeline of 10 feet,as you described, can give you 6 inches of overhang on each end...lots of hammock campers are ok with 6 inch overhang. Even though it’s likely you could have hammock slightly to one side, and have 4 inches overhang on one side and 8 inches overhang on the other side. And plus plus plus, you’re building doors on end.
Lots of people do it the above method.
Even though Kitsapcowboy has made some small tarps, pushing the envelope, I think a tarp with 10 and a half foot ridgeline pitched above a hammock with a 10 foot ridgeline is skating too close to the edge.
This would give you 3 inch inches overhang per side, provided hammock is centered perfectly even

Hike your own hike, Your mileage may vary...
And on rainy nights, if you have an adjustable hammock ridgeline, or can wrap extra ridgeline around a carabiner—you can probably get away with and benefit from a hammock ridgeline shorter than 10 feet, maybe 9 and a half feet.
