What's the worse that could happen with multiple 10s? Let's say I run 3 of them for every terminal


Using multiple 10s would work technically. It is not to code at all because of the chance of one of the wires losing contact which would add too much amperage to the remaining wire on that leg. The extra load on that wire would create too much heat and you'd have a nice meltdown.

That said there are a few circuits around the farm that have been rigged up that way that have been fine. I know I just jinxed myself to have a giant electrical fire tomorrow though.
