multiplex green connectors

Are the servos working in pairs (or even all together), or do they each run off a separate receiver channel? If they're in pairs, you can reduce the number of wires down to four, and then use a Micro Deans 4-pin plug (second row on this page), as follows:-

 

Connect all the red wires together, to pin 1;

Connect all the black wires together, to pin 2;

Connect the white wires from one pair of servos together, to pin 3;

Connect the white wires from the other pair together, to pin 4.

Allan each servo must have its own channel

 

I thought about multiplex connectors as I already have some but I still would need two and I hoped to just use one connector for the lot

Ive used em for years, and another from me.

I think the UK distributor is winding down though, so be quick, or you'll end up sourcing them from the US

OK, so I would probably go for two Micro Deans 4-pin instead of two larger Multiplex. You can get them in red or black, so no confusing the two plugs. One would be for each of the four signal wires, and the other could take the red/black wires paired up.
