Yes.

I'd wire each wire separately but I'm anal. However you could blob all
the same colours together and then insulate carefully.

In commoning up the individual wires, ye might need thicker cables to
handle the current.

I'd rewire each separately using similar wire to the original. Take ya
time and use heat shrink, leaded solder and a good soldering iron. It's
not a difficult job to be considering short cuts.
