You have two standalone internal disks. My recommendation is to create an APFS Fusion drive, with the faster SSD as Main and the slower SSD as Secondary. This will use the slower disk as the Windows destination. Be aware that Windows partition cannot be physically larger than the underlying disk used for Windows. Give the current configuration of disks, I suggest using the 500g as Main, and 1TB as Secondary.
