The size of gas piping is based on an allowable pressure drop. The regulator should be adjusted to deliver at 11" of water column (approx 0.4psi). For propane appliances the allowable drop is 1". The Canadian residential gas code I have has 3/8 copper tubing, this would be about 5/16 ID, so you'll have to extrapolate. 10' length allows 49 000 BTUs, 20' allows 34 000 BTUs and 30' allows 27 000 BTUs.
In other words, 2 separate 1/4" hoses manifolding at the regulator will work fine.
