You can use the set as pictured for one peripheral, or to power an unmodified USB hub for more.

I (and the guy who posted this picture, and some others around here) got these parts from a German mail-order store that specializes in gadgets and accessories, generally cheap, mostly tacky but sometimes useful and/or hard to find : http://www.pearl.de

There is also a French site (http://www.pearl.fr), but AFAIK nothing in English.
This is interesting, because I find I already have all the components lying around, save the "double" USB cable, although I find the converter plugged into your 770 so much smarter looking. I wonder how hard to find they would be.

Addendum: I just went to the Pearl site, but I'm rather a n00b when it comes to USB designations: which version of the "USB 3D adapter" is actually needed for the 770?
