Mr. Mark, thanks for your additional input.
The dimensions of my chamber are not fixed yet. My intention is to be able to work with two blades at a time. Do you think I can put one blade over the other using some ceramic separators?
I understand your worries about blades positioned very close to the elements, because the temperature field may not be uniform there.
Because my kiln will be very narrow I do not plan to heat from the ceiling or from the back wall. It is not wide enough (only 3") for one heating loop. To get the temperature even along the whole blade length (10-12"), I consider to make the chamber depth larger, say some 15". In this way, I hope, the lower temperatures near the doors and the back wall could be compensated.
