Work-Space-in-the-Home Expenses: I moved from a rental to home ownership in the summer - How do I enter my home office expenses as different locations?

My previous apartment was a different size than my current home, so I need to calculate my work space differently for each.

Add the square footage of both home office spaces and divide by two to get an average.  Also add the total square footage of both residences and divide by 2 to get an average, and then use the total of all expenses. There is no way to add two separate office space calculations.
