You would never want to try only one short one.  Two works some times and
sometimes it doesn't.  Be sure to run a 3/8-18 die over the interference fit
threads on the block end of the studs before trying to screw it into a
Helicoil or any other insert.

If the Helicoils are short why couldn't you use 2 to make the full length of
the threaded hole? Would that be a KISSolution?
