Dumb question, will I need to add wires after each cut?

Yes. You have to remove the silicone protector and solder wires to the exposed copper pads. It can be a bit tricky.

And you'll have to strip off some of the weather proofing and solder on new leeds for power. Here's a video that'll help you out. You don't have to use the connectors they mention, like I said you can just solder the leeds on.
