I agree that 5m high is better for elevates radials.  If you go with 2 full 
size radials, start the radials as a dipole at the installed height and tune to 
resonance.  Once tuned, remove the coax and short the dipole and that will be 
the connection point for the vertical. Then modify the vertical section to 
achieve total antenna resonance.   

This is how we tuned all the Team Vertical antennas on our expeditions.
