due to the nature of the exponential light drop off I think by the time the light bounces off 2 surfaces and then back to your plants It will be greatly diminished in comparison to 1 bounce.
heres a pic of what I mean
If I hold the reflectors any farther then I cant see any light hitting bottom of the plants at all
I can quickly adjust and aim the reflected light also
