One more question. At least for now

Thank you for the responses so far. This panel has a shunt for an ammeter. My thought was to as per the blue sea app use a #4 wire to the shunt then a 4 from the other side to the first bus bar of the panel. The panel is a 100 amp. Then use jumpers in a series to the secound buss bar and then another to the third and final positive bar. My question is, is this electrically kosher, and if it is can I reduce the size of the wire with each subsequent jump. I would assume that the second jumper would need to be sized for any current down stream of it. And so on. I would make sure that the bus bar screws were long enough to capture two ring terminals. There are also positive and negative wires for a led back lights. Could I simply conect the positive wire back onto the positive bus bar. Trying to make all wire runs as short as possible.

Thanks again for all your advice.
