1060's have a low TDP. With a power limit set <80%, generally <100W including the risers. You should be fine running two cards per VGA port on the PSU cables that have a dual 8-pin. On the 3rd PSU VGA port you can run the 5th card with the riser using a dual splitter cable and on the 4th PSU VGA port, you can run two risers with a dual splitter cable. For the last two risers run one riser per molex/sata cable on the PSU.

That sounds good but I only have 1 perif molex cable per psu and I'm using 1 cable with 2 plugs for pcie power on the motherboard and the other perif to molex is being used on the add2psu.

Is there any way round this?
