This is the pattern I use for my heavy duty 40ft. soil heating cables. Look closely and you will see that the thermostat is not only between two heating elements but is also at the same level or slightly elevated from the elements that surround it.

Since heat rises you do not want to have the thermostat below where the heat is being generated as this will give a false reading and can result in the soil getting to warm and reducing the benefit to the plant above.
