As to the double wires going to the battery bank, my guess is that the reds and blacks are connected somewhere down the line. Something like boths blacks going to a single ground lug and both reds going to the inverter. If so, then connect 2 six volt batteries in series (one positive to one negative), then 1 red to the other positive and a black to the other negative each set of 2.
I am amazed nobody has questioned the diagram. I have done something like that with an inverter that has two pos and two negs, where you put one set on one battery set and the other on another battery set. That saves having to wire the two battery sets in parallel.
It assumes each battery set will do half the work and accept half the charging. With AGMs you can't afford to make that assumption when trying to recharge them to full.
You can't do that with three battery sets. The OP's two reds could be one for the converter and one for the slide.
There is much un-said in that diagram --eg inverter neg to where?
