That would be 4 into 2 (rather light duty) lugs. I tied all 4 of mine into one heavy lug and routed the wires for the least amount of movement possible. I also carry a #2 range lug in my spares kit just in case.

Right, 2 lugs. This is how I fixed mine:

I may have to do this for all the wires bending at the steering head cable clamp if they start breaking.

When my horn ground broke at that point the internal wires broke but the plastic outer remained intact so the wire 'looked' OK. If you give each wire a gentle tug right at the lugs a wire that is broken internally will stretch slightly.
Over the miles (60K) I have had all four of these break - they are :
Horn
Blinker Relay
Headlights
Aux Power Connector
I have a flexible braid solution in mind but haven't done it yet.
