Question

Hello,
I was wanting to get some feedback on how I would connect a long strand of LED light strips together. Below is the layout on how I think it may look. It appears my bottleneck is my Fibaro RGBW controller. It only supports a max length of 2 meters and combined 12A (sum of all connected output channels); 6A for single output channel.
I already have this controller and would like to use it if possible.
I will need to light up ~35 feet of COB LED light strips.
Below is the product I'm looking at:

Power: 12W/m, 60W/roll
Total Power would be ~128 Watts 10.6 A for 35 feet.
I figured a 200W Power Supply would suffice
200W * 0.8 = 160 W / 17 A

The problem I have is how to do connect the light strips together without overloading the controller?
I think I can connect the first 4 zones fine, but zone 5 and zone 6 I'm at a loss as to where the amplifier would go. Or, do I need to use another controller for that?
Feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
