Best way to connect flexi pipes

I’m replacing my kitchen tap and need to figure out the best way to connect the tap’s flexi pipes.

Currently, there are no isolation valves installed, so I’m planning to add them as part of the process.

The flexi pipes that came with the tap are 300mm, which is too long for my setup. I’m considering getting 150mm flexi pipes instead. This would allow me to install isolation valves just above the Tee connections and then attach the shorter flexi pipes.

Does this sound like the best approach, or is there a better way to go about it?

As suggested, just use the ones that came with the tap and pigtail them. Do not tighten the flexi's directly onto the ISO unless the fluted end has been flattened or they are ones with a specific flat faced end on it. Alternatively use tap tail adapters.
