Double loop cable ties

I’m looking for an efficient way to attach my AOA/ pitot lines to the conduit that runs through my wing ribs. The picture below shows the tubing attached with spot ties. It looks like the spot ties were coupled together somehow as opposed to buying manufactured double loop cable ties.
I’ve tried to replicate this design in my shop, but so far- no luck. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Am I missing something?

Isn't that just 4 ties? I put the first tie around two items, pull the second tie around at the gap (snug, not tight), then tighten the original (#1). Repeat for the second AoA tube.

Adjust as needed then clip ends. It is not a good application for a tie puller/cutter.
 
It’s at least three ties. I’ll try your idea with 4 ties. I’m wondering if lacing tape/string wouldn’t be a better way?
 
Waxed lashing string

I used waxed lashing string. Not in the wings but many other places. First a wrap or two of self fusing tape then tie off with the string. I hate zip ties.
 
I do this everywhere. Use some tough hose e.g. 1/8" fuel hose not any flimsy vinyl stuff.
