[Antennas] single point ground question

Is this a single point ground?
Or does this arrangement not matter.

I was able to scarf a 3" wide strip of pretty thick copper from a 
roofer/gutter guy.
About 3' long, pretty thick.

I drilled a bunch of holes, and with brass screws, washers and wingnuts 
placed about 10" apart.
I then mounted this on the wall behind the op desk and all the 
rig/tuner/rotor/amp/etc. etc stuff is attached to one of those brass screws.
One screw at the end, goes through the wall to the ground rod.
My tower is right there also and it also goes to this ground rod, as does 
the electric meter/telephone/cable drops.
All connected together.

My question is, does the fact that some of the inside equipment is attached 
to different brass screws on that strip of copper change the 'singlepoint' 
concept?
I would have needed a 8" bolt to get all the coax braid connected to the 
same screw. and that would have also made the copper braid even longer than 
needed.
