Just remember that current flows through both halves of the circuit - both through the red AND the black wires - so with the knowledge that you should be routing the negative ends back to the Power Distribution Block you now cannot prevent the "jump" across the "Screw Connector Block" because you should only put at most 2 #10 wires in each block. Eh, not that it's going to be a major problem anyway.
