This would make the surgical tubing technically one appendage since they are linked am I right???

Each individual loop would probably be considered an appendage. The wording of the answers indicates that any part of an appendage that is outside the frame perimeter must be one contiguous piece. Since the loops are connected to one another within the frame perimeter, each loop is its own appendage.
