question about fusing amps properly?

ok, so i have a question about properly fusing the setup i am designing.

im gonna be running 4 amps (400 amps total) and some processors and other crap, id say about another (20 amps total)

im gonna run 2 runs of 0 gauge to the back, and i know that its only safe to run about 350 amp fuse on a single run of 0 gauge, so i 2 runs and run a 250 or 300 amp fuse on each line will that work and no blow them out beause there being split competely or what.

basicly im gonna have 2 runs of 0gauge going from the al to front for big 3 then 2 from front to back battery then from back battery to distribution block and then to accessies and amps.

    Not sure about your last paragraph there. Okay you're already running 2 power lines back I suggest using a distribution block on each and run 2 amps and half the accessories on 1 and then the rest on the second. if you are using an extra battery trunk mounted It should only need about a 2/0 or 4/0 wire from the alternator to it to keep it charged (with a good ground of course)
