Sure, I included a pic of my wiring. My wiring is very redundant. All the bulbs are in parallel, but there are multiple paths. I did this in case there is ever a problem with wiring and a connection is broken, there are other paths.
If you want to verify that the wiring is sufficient thick to handle the current, look up the gauge or AWG of the wiring on the net to see the max current. Note that a lower gauge can handle higher current. I'd say go with a 22 gauge or lower and you should be fine. To find the total current, just take the total power in watts and divide by 110V. So 220W will produce 220/110 = 2 A of current.
