In case of the 905* Bunge, a strong wind gust made an earlier decision. The flat main vine of the beast fell over and developed nasty splits, so I decided to cut it back to where a string single secondary grows into the rigt direction (as a potential new main vine). Just before throwing away the removed greenery, I inspected the flat vine tip (with its twin-leaf nodes)...and it would have continued that flat way for many many nodes, no sign of splittig into a "normal double vine" or of returning into the "single mode". So, I will (most likely) go with the backup plant, which is slightly smaller than my other plants, but it has a nice shape. The leftovers of the beast...I just want to see how they will be doing the next few days, and then I will make a final final decision.
