DO NOT install a multiwire circuit and connect the hot legs to breakers that are on the same buss. This is illegal and dangerous no matter what wire gauge you install. A multiwire circuit MUST have the breakers installed on opposing buss's.

Staighten 2 cables of romex out flat and wrap some electrical tape around them every 3 feet or so to keep them in place. They'll pull up the chase same as a singe 3 conductor cable and be much safer in the long run.
