From my experience that is wiring overkill but,if it pleases you go fer it.
I've built 10' ISL that had 2 wires going to the track from my Tech II or CM20 and in 1977 1 built a 4x8' loop layout with brass track and only use 2 wires from a MRC Golden Throttle power pack...80% of that layout was sectional track.I ran that layout for about 15 months before going back to my more normal ISL.It was a nice layout but,its down fall was loop running with limited switching.
