I don't even bother doing a "main" fuse. I just put my wires from the
power supply under the CA711 strips on an end block. I don't want a main
blowing taking the whole site down. And a 10, 15 or 20A main
fuse/breaker is just going to allow the current to keep burning things
up anyway. Per radio/device is enough for me.

one block gets fed the power, bigger fuse, then the rest get a smaller
fuse for the individual radio

I’m attempting an enclosure that “looks clean” but don’t have much
experience with this stuff. I want to take in a 2 conductor DC
power lead and split it multiple ways inside. The incoming DC
lead is 12AWG and the split off leads range from 16-20AWG. Is a
din rail terminal block what I want to use for this, or is there
something better?
If I use terminal blocks

do I then use jumpers

to bond two or more together? Is it hokey to jump multiple
terminal blocks together with those two terminal jumpers? Do all
the wires go in one side and jumpers in the back?
Sorry for all the n00bness.
