The main challenge is that most power supply units will only have one of each positive and negative output wires so to connect that to more than one led strip section will require you to split that output into multiple wires. Often referred to as daisy chained or looped the current in a series circuit follows one path from start to finish with the anode positive of the second led connected to the cathode negative of the first. It looks like your strip is analog control and not digital which would have little ics in the strip to control individual led color so the specific color ground lines are all in parallel.

You should be able to connect numerous strips in parallel 12v to 12v red to red green to green and blue to blue to blue. Purchase led lights and all the connections. Hitlight s connectors and wiring are used to connect and wire your led strip lights to each other or to other accessories such as a dimmer a controller a power adapter smart lighting options etc. The main disadvantage of this approach is that it will require a bit more wiring work.
