I disagree, but I think it's technically up to the individual inspectors at this point.
Dictionary.com states contiguous is

touching; in contact, or
in close proximity without actually touching; near.


So, since the tubing is all near each other, you should, technically, be contiguous. As to the string idea, if you do that, you might as well, make it rubber flaps, because stringed-up surgical tubing just looks silly. And flaps would probably be more effective, as well.

Nah, that doesn't sound as good.
