Quoted from barakandl:small PCB and two headers could be used to make a "z connector"
This is what I had resorted to. There are two immediate issues that I can see.
1) As mentioned above ... potential shorts from exposed header pins on the solder side.
2) Numerous boards with the correct number of pins are required. A single (larger) board exposes more potential electrical short surface.

Using panels would work but there would need to be a balance between ease of breaking and not inadvertently breaking. Of course, once the header pins are soldered in it wouldn't break.
Quoted from barakandl:Whats the largest one used in pinball? 12 positions?
I made connectors up to 13 positions. See below for why I chose 13.
Quoted from barakandl:What is the purpose of your 3rd row of holes? Splitting connections too?
Yes. There were two primary reasons I had these made. Firstly to test the footprint and secondly to split connectors.
