Hi Elight,
I'm struggling to envision your setup but I love single stemming with drop strings. It allows me to plant very closely. In a 3x8 bed I run two rows of eight plants in each row. Photo below shows my system.
Sorry I don't know much about Earthboxes or the cages you are speaking about. I'll try to chime back in if you have a photo or can explain more.
