See R42. Controlling 2 solenoid or low-current light outputs with one Spike has been legal for many years. As long as you properly send the negative wires back to a black PD board negative terminal (presumed ok to splice the negative leads to fit into a single terminal), you should be fine.

However, what would not be legal is preparing these LED arrays and wire harnesses for use on a 2012 FRC robot - you must wait to perform all such work after kickoff of the 2012 season, during approved robot work times.
