Reterminating Nordost- worth it?

I have some Nordost Red Dawn II biwire interconnects, or whatever you call it when you have 2 z connectors on the amp end and 4 on the speakers end. Anyway, given my latest speakers are not biwireable, would it be worth it to reterminate the speaker end? Who would do such a thing?
I am thinking that if I do this I will now have two parallel strips of wire per channel which may not be what was intended originally. Of couse with these wires you have like 18 thin parallel strands anyway so maybe no big deal? or not? Does anyone know if it would be different or the same or have any recommendations?

There are a lot of different types of those spades, which ones are you referring to? do you have a precise model number (oh and yes your solution will work for me, thanks).
Here are the ones I have seen

Thanks for the great responses. The speaker cable does in fact have Z Plugs which are banana plugs (don't know if they are same or different from AQ ones).
