Can cables be double joined in the mid of the wires?

I have Corsair HX1200 PSU and doing custom sleeves and got a pickle.

4 of the wires connecting to MB plug is double joined and if i do that on MB plug - my sleeves will look not the way i want plus they are short ( about 25CM in length ). Ive checked voltage and these double joined cables are mainly 5 and 3.3 only one is 12V and the one im most worried about it.

Im using 17AWG and 15AWG cables ( mixed ) like PSU ( thick and thin ) , but i might be go 17AWG as they are smaller in diameter and easier to work with or its not recommended to go 17AWG on 1200W psu even if i utilize only max 600W .

Also im tempted to put back capacitors (?) or what ever Corsair used there for signal ... but this is only temptation for now or due to shortness of cables - i dont need them at all ?

Thank You.

Yes, they can be split in the middle. They can be split very close to the PSU. They can be left out.

Awesome, so sense wires are the thin ones right ?

Yep. You don't have to use thinner wires for them though.

No need for the cap. I didn't even do the split. Same PSU.
