Yep.

Or three,  I typically run three.

Putting wires through ducts or chutes may be a violation of building
code(s).

Also don't use red wire.  We've had some issues lately with inspectors
objecting to red wire that is used for anything but fire alarms.  You
can haggle your way out of it, but why create the problem;  codes
relating to these things are only going to get more strict [which is a
good thing, IMO, in the long run].
