ᐅ Cutting channels (positioning during ceiling installation)

Hello, I want to make the channels for the electrical installation myself. I am familiar with the installation zones. Normally, horizontal channels are made near the ceiling, with a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) below the ceiling.
In my case, there are empty pipes installed in the ceiling at close intervals, all leading to the same outlet strip.
Should I first run each empty pipe down by 15 cm (6 inches) and then combine them all into one common horizontal channel running to the left, and then run that channel vertically downwards?
Or, in such a case, can I directly make a horizontal channel about 3-4 cm (1-2 inches) below where the pipes come out, and then run it to the left and down?
What is the best practical approach to this?
Thanks and best regards!

Exactly. Something like that will work. If necessary, cover it with thick heat shrink tubing or duct tape. But make sure to file the ends straight and ensure a flush fit.

They were installed too short from the beginning.

So you want to extend the protective conduit? Personally, I find reinforced adhesive tape usually sufficient – or heat shrink tubing as well.
