Choosing the bias components of a cascode amplifier
If you look at CB you'll see that it decouples Q1 base, i.e. provides a reference voltage. So this IS just a classic cascode. 

Rule of thumb Ve(Q2) = Vcc/10 is fine. That gives you Vb(Q2). And Ie(Q2), Ib(Q2) from Re and Hfe. 

Now Q2 works into a low impedance (Q1e)  so Vc varies very little and Q2 Vce can be small. I'd suggest 2 or 3x Vbe or a couple of volts. If Vcc is low and you need high output range, reduce it a bit : if linearity is important, remember hfe reduces as Vce gets close to saturation, so increase it a little, or set Vc(Q2) to Vcc/3.

That gives you Ve(Q1), Vb(Q1), Ib(Q1) since Ie(Q1) = Ic(Q1) = (Ie-Ib)(Q1), so you can now fix the bias chain. 

Now split the difference between Ve(Q1) and Vcc, to give you Vc(Q1) for maximum symmetrical output swing. That and Ic(Q2) gives you RC.
