Thanks for the reply!
Please see the attached photos. It's a little difficult to image the inside rubber thing, since the tent is hanging at the moment, but I hope you can see what I'm getting at.

Re the two different length guys: Yes, the very long ones are for the poles, it's the ~8 inch vs the ~20 inch ones that attach to the flysheet (see the imgur link) that I'm not certain about. I've just made my own longer ones from some paracord for most of the flysheet attachment points, since you get more adjustment from a longer piece.
Maybe the longer ones are for the back section of the flysheet and the shorter ones are for the inner? Then you tension the back on the fly sheet, and the front on the pole guys, and you're just meant to peg out the rest with no guys.
You may be right, but I don't think the D-rings are for attaching to the fly, since there's nowhere on the fly to make that attachment. The groundsheet has "edges" such that I suppose if I guyed the fly sheet it would have ~4 inches of ground-sheet-material "wall" around the inner, which I suppose would be good in case of water running under the tent in heavy rain.
It'd be nice if EVSO had some better instructions, to be honest, with some pictures. Perhaps figuring it out is half the fun...

translation building instruction; lay out the groundsheet and tension it tightly with the ground stakes.
Place the tent pole in front of the inner tent and attach it to the pole, then secure the inner tent and the Velcro
Tension the guy line (this will be removed later)
Attach 60 cm guy lines to the d rings and tighten them.
Place the outer roof over the inner tent.
Attach the 30 cm guy lines to the d rings, place the 140 poles, place long guy lines at the front.
Tent tent, start at the sleeping tent, center back, sides forward at the same time (inner tent is then neatly in the middle of the roof.
help remove guy line.
Place rain caps on the poles.
