If your situation is that you need the phono cables to be separate/individual cables, most of them are just that, a pair of cables. Morrow Cables and Triode Wire Labs phono cables for example, are both a pair of cables. So a separation of the connections would not be an issue.
I actually ended up moving to an SUT and I also acquired the cables that were designed with that unit, which are individual cables. resolves my issue and makes life a little easier.
