My thoughts were that I should spread it out more, like I have this worry of writing a piece where the second bassoon would only playing for 2 bars or something, for example, and it would seem like a waste.
I used to think like that, but if you notice an instrument is getting inactive do one of following:

• Double it with another instrument, test new timbres!
• Create a counter-melody
• Use it as sustainment, if you have a rather 'dry' piece.
