The power input is just unregulated battery voltage. If you need another VRM for a second 5V supply, there should be no problem connecting it to a 20A-or-smaller-protected generic Wago output from the PDP.

The same is true of the Pneumatic Control Module -- if you want to use more than one of them, the "extras" can get battery power from the PDP's Wago connectors. That's what the Beta Test teams have been told to do with the old PCM when we receive the new "tougher" ones.
