Just use #8 MC4 cable for the paralleled run to the controller.
#10 is fine for the series loops.
Getting to 1% is overrated. You only lose 8.8 watts going 2% and 17.6 watts out of 880 letting it slide to 3%. It is just not going to matter if you hit absorption voltage at 11:26am or 11:35am. Once your charge is tapering your "losses" just steadily climb because the batteries will not charge faster.
I would not add a loop or length to balance the two series at the same length. Just plug and play, keep it neat and it will work just fine.
