Marvin and Nirty,
You can splice the #6 with an approved crimp splice (butt splice) made for #6. I see this as introducing another point of failure though and would recommend purchasing additional pins for the Anderson power connector for you local outlet or Terminal Supply. If the butt splice is your only alternative, we would cut off the insulation, crimp and solder the wire and then use heatshrink or electrical tape to solder the joint when cool. Use the added #6 wire in your kit to make the correct length wire. If that doesn't work for you, you can use the smaller fuse panel as a tie point to extend the power wiring to where you need. I would be hesitant to suggest any other method, without making you illegal sometime in the future.
