Couldn't you actually run 2 20A circuits? One with the black feed and one with the red feed since they are both hot? Put black tape around the ends of the red wire showing it is now functioning as a black hot feed.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Seriously, if you're asking.... call an electrician. I wouldn't tackle that myself in my own home, nevermind on a job....

That would give you 40 amp of potential circuits on the same neutral wire! Not likely to happen but you never know.

I'm fortunate to have a neighbor who's a master electrician and gives free advice. I usually don't do jack without a consultation. And I never touch my panel.
