I'm sure more knowledgeable folks will chime in but I usually use 6' lines at the corners and along the side of the tarp. Also, due to some issues in the past, I tend to create a separate ridgeline for the tarp to hang over. From there I'll use short bits of line and tie a tautline hitch from the tarp end onto the ridgeline. I've been in some pretty high winds & rains set up like this and have never worried.

That's all for now. Take care, best of luck in getting your tarp set to your liking and until next time...Be well.
