How many days should I fill in for a double-entry Schengen visa application?

I will be staying in Latvia for 26 days and I want to apply for a double-entry visa. On the application form, should I write 26 days or 90 days?

From comment:

My first entry is on 1st September and I'm staying for 17 days. While the second entry is on December 20th and I will be staying 10 days. That's what makes the total number of 26 days. Are you advising me to apply for only 17 days based on my first visit??

You are planning two trips to Latvia and, if the itinerary you included in your visa application outlines both trips (entry and exit dates), you would give the total number of days (27, by my count).
