strung together this:

The hob is a bit of a
mystery, the instructions say it needs a 20A fused connection (with
2.5mmsq wire) but then goes on to say that the input power is 6500W. By
my calculations 230V x 20A = 4600W which means it'd have a PF 1 ??

No, the manufacturers assume you won't have all rigs on at once.

Assuming it really is 20A is it safe/normal to connect the following up:
30A CU fuse --- Cooker switch --- Outlet --- (Spur) --- 13A FCU ---
Oven
and then wire the hob direct to the outlet??

That's what I'd do.
