I have taken a spur from an internal socket via armoured cable to my garden shed, some 10 metres away. It works fine. I run a small 15 w flourescent light from it and socket for drill. I have now built another shed which also requires power with similar power requirements. Can I connect the new shed to the old shed in series? Can I connect it in parallel from the original internal socket? Or should i find another internal socket to connect from?

That's already possibly wrong.
No.
No.
No.
That last "no" is because this is not the right way to do it in the first place, this sort of work is notifiable, and the fact that you are asking these questions means that you probably shouldn't be doing it.
Is the original spur from the house Fed via a 13amp fused spur ? And is the socket circuit protected by a 30mA RCD ?
What size is the SWA cable ? and how long is it from the house to the 1st and second shed ?
