You have a good question! there are a lot of 2 fly fishing rigs. They ALL magnify the tangling aspect to fly fishing. as a person gets better at handeling the fly rod they find that the tangels become less and less. But never totally go away. On days that I get frustrated with tangels I go back to fishing just 1 fly(it is not a sin) and if it is the right pattern I do just as well or better than fighting the 2 fly system. the way you are rigging is probably the least likely to give you problems in casting.
Work on your casting,setting techniques first. In teaching my students I have noticed that those who tend to tangle the most tend not to bring their rod tip high enough(to 12 o'cock) when trying to roll cast. Don't baby your fly rod when you are trying to cast, put the bend to it as you are throwing a cast this will put the flys were you want them not tangled around the rod tip.
Time: give it time and practice and this will not be an issue for you.
