i have a 10 blade fusebox what is the best way to run from one power source and split to 10?

You don't really want to split 1:10 and will need more like 2 banks of 5. One for permanent feed and the other for switched feed. Either way you can often run a common feed to each bank using the internal busbar (if it has one) Each feed will have to be individually fused as a safeguard.

im running from the cutoff switch to this, so that is the ignition switch really?

there is no internal to the fuse box just 10 blade fittings

IIRC that will not pass IVA as you need lights, hazards and horn working with the ignition switched off ...... or are you wiring a track-only car?

So you have 10 connections each side? You can split the main feed wire into 10 smaller feeds but tbh I would choose a more suitable fusebox - much easier. This one has a side entry to a 6mm connection.
