Simple enough, but as there are a few options what is the preferred:

1. All in series using 6 junction boxes plus 1 to connect to the old
light supply. (7No 6A JB's in total)
2. Split the lighting supply like a star so they are essentially in
parallel. This in theory will not work with a typical 6A JB as it only
allows a max of 4 wires to connect at once. Could I use a 32A and fire
all the 6 'tails' plus 1 supply in to this? (1No 32A JB only)
3. Have them wired in 3 sets of two i.e. 2 lights going in to 1 JB then
all connecting to a further JB in to which the supply comes (4 6A JB's
in total)

I is thinking of doing the third option. What do you lot reckon?

Can you not get two wires into the terminals of each spot so you can go
from one to the next without any JBs?
