Another option for configuring multiple Powerpoles to prevent accidental
reverse polarity is to arrange the connectors thus:

B R R B
B R R B

With the left sets "flipped over" compared to the right sets.

This is the way John at QuickSilver Radio does his. He sells the blank
shells or prewired units. See:

And scroll about halfway down. You can see how John recommends configuring
these sets of eight. (disclaimer: no pecuniary interest, just a satisfied
customer, etc...)
