heres my branch mine design:

The middle blocks are the ramp circling down and is designed to easily accommodate minecarts. The first ring is just a ledge on each level before you go tunneling in. Each level of the branch is 3 blocks high, this way you have room to better work with the mine carts. The branches can extend as far as you need, but i usually dig a cross tunnel at about 50 blocks or so.
