Unlike main equipotential bonding, where the cable must be a single unbroken run, am I right in thinking that this is not the case for supplementary bonding in bathrooms? I.e, I can run a 4mm cable from the light to the radiator, then a separate 4mm cable across all the other relevant pipes? Thanks, Mike.

Yeah. You can also use a copper pipe with soldered joins as part of the supplementary bonding.
 
I prefer to still use a single unbroken length of cable, but it is not a requirement of BS7671.

Using a ring crimp on the end of each wire is a good way of making a good connection to the earth clamp.
