My guess is that this is not the preferable wiring solution as each "piece" of these power dist. blocks aren't rated for really high current, so it would be better to pass some of the current through another "piece" of the block.

Thanks for the help!
Besides i believe that would violate the rules... because you would not be wiring it according to the wiring diagram
