Pendant light wiring query

Hi there, I've recently replaced a light fitting in one of our bedrooms and was a little surprised to find and more cables hanging from the ceiling that I was expecting (loft conversion has more wiring running off the the rest of the lights) I wired the pendant as normal and everything is working fine but as there are more wires than terminals in the rose I've had to double up on 2 of terminals (the previous fixture only had one live and one neutral terminal blocks so I couldn't use the existing wiring) I was wondering if this is suitable or is it just a fire hazard waiting to happen? (see diagram) I've read on other forums about buying a rose with more terminals but for the life of me I cannot seem to find these anywhere and also read about using a junction box to wire the light instead? (I'm sure there have been threads about this before so I do apologise for you guys having to read this over again)

Any advice or even just an opinion of this would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you very much
Alex
