So to the OP:
=============

In the UK:

you *can* replace the cooker outlet with one or more 13A sockets wired in
a radial configuration (ie daisy chained, branched, any way you like).

I should note that the terminal capacity of a typical accessory like a
socket is 6mm2 per terminal. This means you *cannot* form a tee-junction in
4mm2 or 6mm2 cable - only in 2.5mm2 for a ring circuit.

It's still possible but you'd have to use junction boxes. This partly
explains why 32A radial circuits are not popular - too difficult to
implement in practise.
