I have always done it exactly like it is pictured in your post. This works perfectly with all of the front fire schoeps mics. There is a reason why it is positioned like this. When the array is positioned above the ensemble this will make for the least amount of interference between the two mics and if you look closely you will notice the cardioid is set back to be located at the center of the MK8 capsule. Time arrival at the two capsules is as close as it's going to get. I have never used the side fire cardioid though I have used the Mk6 set on cardioid. My gut reaction without directly A-B-ing the two in cardioid is that the dedicated front fire patterns are better, certainly in omni.
