I usually add telephone jacks by connecting one
previously installed jack to a new one in a series.
Would like to add another, but don't want to go from
one jack to the next. Could I spice the wire and
connect another jack. The splice would mean two jacks
would be coming from the same wire.

(I'm not using the term 'series' as like a 'series
circuit'.... just one after another.)

Yes, you can. What you're calling "series", as you
correctly noted an explanation for, is actually a
"parallel". You connnect phones in parallel
electrically.
