Voltage Multiplier Circuit Design

So next I want to find out in the diagrams you posted above you said the cx(last capacitor) needs to be rated higher than the output voltage. So in my case I need a 40 kv cap because my output should be 38 kv. How crucial is to have it at that rating? Is it possible to use two caps rated at 20 kv each to get 40 kv. So based off this in the multiplier you made, was your last cap rated at 130 kv or did you do something else?

Just would like to make sure about the polarities coming out of the circuit before I test out my tube at full voltage. Please see attach and let me know if polarities are in correct positions. Thanks.
