My only concern is with the quality of the outer jacket on extension cords. Some are fine, others are thin and easy to damage. If you use cords that are rated (S or SJ) and the various versions with additional specifications, you are good to go, although the insulation on the S or SO cable may be large enough to make it difficult to fit the holes in the boxes.
Another solution it to look to the boating industry. GenuinedealZ sells a flat stranded 600V cable that works well with standard electrical fittings. Expensive, but probably the best solution. Again, because it is stranded cable, you won't be able to use stab type receptacles. There are back wired receptacles that use the side screws to clamp the wire that work well with stranded wire. The Leviton 5252 is an example.
