There’s a huge safety issue with running a single cable thru the bulkhead. And not just the one already pointed out regarding the sharp edges of sheet metal.
The factory 2 cable / junction box is the safest way to isolate the trunk area in case of getting rear ended.
where I live other drivers don’t care about their own lives, let alone mine.
keep the factory set up and you will have less “unintended consequences” to deal with. No one can see everything. And second guessing the inherent safeguards put in place by the factory design team would be more than foolish, imho.

so brass bolt- nylon insert nut- bulkhead- other half of nylon nut- starter cable - alt cable- brass nut..
is that the correct setup for optimal current flow?

I hear ya... but imho i dont think engineering is Jaguars strong point. In fact its probably one of the weaker points. Haha

If you dont like Flippant then try KISS.......A couple of nylon top hat washers from ebay and a bolt and you are done .
The bolt is there for assembly reasons at the factory ,if you have tried to access the starter solenoid with the engine in situ you will know why particularly on a RHD model ( steering rack off for a start )
No NO No KISS with the emphasis on the last S
