Have you looked at the loading on your drive, to know what size belt you need? The Gates site has several design tools to help you with the evaluation. You might be surprised at the capability of the 9mm belts.

Also, is there a reason that you don't want to use two belts, instead of a single belt? It is a much simpler design, but I don't know what design constraints you are working with. Just curious.
