Re: Creating node0
You can spur a single (or double) socket outlet off of the existing socket
(assuming that the existing socket is not a spur itself)
This would give you a double socket outlet in your cupboard. You can then
hang as many 6 way strips as you like off of the new sockets as long as you
plug them in (as opposed to wire them in directly) and fuse the plug tops
appropriately for the cable.
For the spur you should use 2.5mm2 cable.
Sounds to me as though the easiest solution for you is to open the existing
socket and drill a hole through the back of the box and wall (make sure
there are no pipes/cables there etc) and then mount a patress box and
socket
in your cupboard.
Don't forget to isolate the supply when drilling/wiring etc
