Should be fine with what you have as long as there is some slack on the cables. You could go for a Molex of some kind (they have thousands to choose from) since the wire will basically never come out of the connector. I'd toss the wires into a woven nylon sheath to keep things tidy or go for some 18 guage multi-wire (8+ wires inside a common sheath - stays flexible).
What voltage current is each wire running? There are some larger guage ribbon wires out there.

I think I might go with a Molex style connector. I wired up the fixtures with 20ga wire and left 8" or so hanging out the sides to make them disconnect-able. And I had a roll of 18/8 wire kicking around so I ran 2 - 5' lengths of that between the dim4 which was under the tank in the cabinet to the light fixture in the hood. I needed a total of 14 wires for all the different channels and the fans so it worked out pretty good. I hooked up all of the one 18/8 for the + side and the other for the - side. If I go with a couple of the molex type connectors I can plug and unplug one fixture at a time if repairs or upgrades are necessary.

I have a 15% off voucher for Newark Electronics that is good until March 31 if you want to order the molex through there. Voucher code is NEW2PC. Shipping from Newark is only $8!
