Allow me to intoduce you to the "Caps Lock" key. Please use it wisely. 😉

It isn't all that complex, if it is a SE stage driving a PP stage, you have the driver with the primary in the anode circuit (like an output stage), with the centre tap of the IST grounded, and each side going to a grid.

Have a look at Claudo Bonavolta's phase splitters article. The transformer is the last one on that page.
 
Google for Ralph Powers PP 6B4G

This is exactly the ckt to use and will work just fine with 300Bs.
Rather than use the Lundahl LL1635, you'd want to buy a Lundahl
1660/10 and then strap it for "Alt V" SE to PP. The 1660 is better
suited for this application.

I built an amp for someone using this transformer. In my case, I
used an ECC99 driving the Lundahl driving PP 2A3. You can use
the 5842WA or the 6C45 with this part. All three tubes are an excellent
choice and the results are very, very good! The transformers will cost
you $200 for the pair, but well worth the performance and ckt simplicity.

Sun Audio never seem to get too adventurous with their circuits and the same is true for this amp. I greatly prefer this
