Switch stack uplink connectivity best practice

I have some questions about uplink cabling from stack switches to upstream devices. In this scenario the stack switches are catalyst 9300's and upstream device are nexus 7k's in VPC.

Say the requirement is to have 4x10G uplinks per stack. Each stack can be either 5,6 or 7 switches per stack. What is the best practice to distribute the uplinks per stack?

For the example I have created below (stack of 6 switches) I have the uplinks distributed across 4 switches, with two uplinks to N7K A and another two to N7K B, and master and slave set to the remaining two switches which do not have any uplinks. Would this be the best way?
