To tidy up on the wiring is it ok to wire the COILS (4 of) & INJECTORS like this, in series? I'll be running wasted spark
Ignore the stick coil wiring comment, i'll not be using them

Bad idea Steve!
No intent to be critical at all but you are inviting problems!
Generally ~12 volts is applied to an injector, or coil for that matter, to energize it. If you wire 2 of them in series, you will only be applying ~6 volts to each one.
Not going to work that way, for sure!
They must be wired in a fashion that provides the correct voltage!
There are plenty of wiring diagrams in the manual for reference. The best practice is to follow them completely. There is a lot of hard earned knowledge and experience supporting them.
Hope that helps.
Ken
EDIT: You are asking about wiring power to the coils & injectors aren't you?

No.
Think what happens if you wire two 12v bulbs in series.
