As large a main feed as possible, is the rule or possibly two cables run in parallel. It is not for current carrying capacity, but to avoid volts drop.
Use a 30amp fuse at the front, then split the main feed in the boot using 20 or 25 amp fuse for the supplementary supply, feeding the charge relay unit and a 10amp fuse for the lighting circuits on the N socket relay.
You cannot run the road lighting, brake lights and indicators directly from the cars lighting circuits - you must use either a bypass relay or a proper Rover Can-bus unit.
