Illustration below is a single on a tandem mount with the tail section removed.
Not pimping for Atoc/Thule... just my observations over the years. Also, for those who might be scratching their heads, earlier models of the Atoc/Thule did not all have the quick disconnect tail section as it was introduced as an option before becoming a standard feature.
