Autopilot wire questions

Hi. I just read the wiring overview and a recent thread, but I still have questions.

1) It is said that roll and pitch servos are wired identically and can share wires for convenience at any point along the run. Is this true for all wires (ie.: DSAB and others)? Will this mean that I can run a 7 wire bundle from each servo to a common point and then continue with only one bundle to the panel?

2) Which is the right size for DSAB wires? Steinair sells a 7 wire bundle made of 5 22AWG and only 2 20AWG. So, in my case, if I bought this bundle, I will have to use the bigger ones for PWR and GND and the 22AWG for DSAB. Will this be OK?

Thanks.

Yes to both. You can run all wires in parallel, and only power and ground have any real current on them. The other 5 wires can be as small as you want.
