Lots of variables, rope diameter, are you using a rope wrench? 

 

Personally I use a courant phoenix 8mm X 75cm and run that on drenaline with a rope wrench tied in VT. Works a treat!

Hitches can be compact by using just a piece of cord with a stopper knot at the end.  The friction, or tension can be adjusted to your liking each time, very helpful with the VT.  A 4-2 VT in the picture, the stopper also helps with tending, can be easily done without a pulley.  I first tie an overhand for the stopper, test it, then add another behind it.  The tether is 8” and still has room to not jam the hitch.
