10/3 might be a little small for your distance. You should be able to
hook the red and black up to the two pole breaker in your main box.
Then you can also hook the red and black up at the top of your
subpanel. Then install your 4 breakers and they should be half on the
red and half on the black. Otherwise you're wasting the power
carrying potential of one of your wires. And you also are supposed to
keep the ground and white on isolated bus bars in your subpanel as
well as run a ground rod near it. Really 2 ground rods per the latest
code but one wll at least keep you safe.
