How do I wire my new light with an extra loop cable?

I changed my other light fittings with spot lights with no problems. Then I came to the final light.....

The current wiring to the light fitting includes three 'loop' wires (there are two lights operating on the one switch). Two going into one loop space on the block inside the light fitting and one going into another loop space on the block next to it.

However, my new light fitting only has one space on the block for 'loop' alongside the other spaces for the usual blue, brown and green/yellow.

Can the three loop wires go into one space on the block or do I need a different light fitting with an extra loop space?

Thanks for your help.
