Paul, with a twin-trunk you can go with the combined girth of the two trunks, to give you your pot depth.
But -- you can also go with something shallower, provided it's also wider! The wider it is, the shallower it can be. I've seen some very nice multi-trunk compositions in wide, shallow containers.
You want the entire visual mass of the pot to be about 2/3 the visual mass of the tree itself. (Someone correct me, please, if I'm wrong about that ratio.)
