Installing cable splitters

I'm putting Ritchie cable splitters on my S&S coupled bike (not a tandem, but figured there would be experience here wit S&S coupled tandems)

I'm using Dura Ace cables. I thought I could just cut the cable in the middle and attach.

However it appears that you need to have a head on the cable at one side of the splitter.

Given that the DA cables only come with a head on one end, do I have to use 2 cables to make these work, or am I missing something?
