I am installing a new built-in oven and hit the usual problem of
the horrible connectors they always seem to come with. However
this one seems even worse than usual and I'm a bit stumped as to
how to do a proper job of connecting it.

I have a dedicated 32 amp MCB for the oven and (electric,
induction) hob and it has a 6sq mm cable running to the kitchen
units. However there is absolutely no way that one can connect 6sq mm
cable to the oven. The connection block is too small. The only
cable that I think I can reasonably connect to it is 2.5sq mm
because the screw terminals are such that only single, solid wire
can be reliably connected to it.

You need to separate the oven and hob, and have 2 switches, one for
each. I presume that 32A is enough for the both?

You spur off the 6mm cable with a 13A FCU to supply the oven. You
can run 4mm cable from a connector box/joint to the FCU if you
cannot terminate the 6mm in a normal FCU.
You dont need heat resistant cable, it doesnt get very hot at the
back of the oven. 2.5mm from the FCU to the oven is fine.

This sounds much better than what ARW said.
I would go with what Mr Lee says.

How do you know what I said? You claim you do not read my posts?

Have you invented a time machine so that you can see posts from the future?
That means you can claim that you were replying to a post of mine by seeing
another posters reply (by someone that you do not claim to blacklist) to my
post?

All it takes is someone that you have not blacklisted to reply to my post
with the words "dennis you are a bell end" to make the future come true

Any volunteers to make this post?
