Hi, hopefully you can help.

I am installing 5 external floodlights in the garden. The units have a 1.5 mtr cable with a 13amp plug. I am fitting these around some new decking and the cables are to short. So i want to join them all up using 121 cable connectors to extend the cable a cpl of mtr's. to a single junction box and have one cable coming out of the box. and run them from a single cable with a 13amp plug into an external socket. Now i cant seem to find something that will join all these wires into a single wire for the plug.
Can i put 4 lives twisted together into a single block and the 4 neutral and then 4 earths, then just put the plug wires into the block. Do i just need a bigger size block to fit all 4 cables into one hole?.

There does not seem to be a block where the live wires etc are all joined.
Attached a layout and explanation
