How many king studs are required for a bay window rough opening that is 5' 10" wide?

I installed one king stud on each side, two jack studs on each side, and six jack studs on the top and bottom.

There are regular wall/king studs 5" to the right and 10" to the left of the r.o. window king studs.

Do I need a second king on either side? I'd rather not put them in if I don't have to b/c it would involve moving a bunch of electrical work around.

hi
if you have a one piece bay window you need a king stud on each side plus header.
if it's a combination of windows that makes the bay window
you need king stud on each side of the windows plus headers.

cheers
