Just coil up the remaining rope in a green woolies reusable bag and clip it to the bottom of the rope. It's easy to lift it up and get the grigri on below the mini traxion. It's best to get to the anchors and go in direct with a lanyard before doing this.
Or the alternate approach is to tie a fig 8 in the middle of the line and put the mini trax on one strand, and then the grigri on a lanyard on the other. As you climb you can pull up slack through the grigri from time to time as a backup. I used to do this, but it gets too hard when you're working routes at limit. So I opt for the slightly riskier but less faff approach of single static line, single mini traxion.
I've also experimented over the last 3 years with multiple devices(shunt + mini), chest harnesses and all that bollox. But in the end single static line, mini traxion, and grigri to descend is easiest. Despite what people say it's safer due to simplicity of the system and less tangle of ropes.
Make sure you use a carabiner that won't cross load. But you probably already knew this shizzle.
