Pull both whoopie slings to the center, hook them together with a (nacra)biner, a toggle, or a big freakin' knot and you're done. You should be able to reduce your minimum tree spacing almost to ridgeline length plus the gap between tree and hugger.
I think this doubles the pull on your whoopies though so don't try to hang high and tight.
