A 600 watt transformer is actually two 300 watt loads, 411.2 will only allow 25 amps max on a secondary circuit.

As already mentioned 411.4 is the rule you have to follow, also IMO what your doing is a bad design, voltage drop is going to be a huge factor, I would mount the transformers outside on 4x4's behind a tree or bush...
