Connecting up new oven & hob.

Hi there,
I've nearly finished fitting my new kitchen, just waiting for a professional to fit the worktops for me
Previously we had a free standing cooker, now have a built under fan oven with a seperate ceramic hob.
The supply to the outlet is 6.0mm and the oven is already connected up.
When I connect the hob, should I be connecting to the same wall outlet, or can I connect it up through the oven (or the oven to the hob).
Looking at the wall outlet plate, I'm not sure there will be sufficient room to get both cables in there and through the cable clamp in the outlet, whereas there is room for more than 1 cable through the clamps into the back of the oven and also the clamp for the hob.
Thanks
