PSU query about 2x 8pin (6+2) PCIe connectors

I recently purchased a Corsair AX860 PSU and noticed that in the supplied cable kit there are two different types of PCIe 6+2 pin cables:

There are two cables that have a single PCIe power connector and two cables that have two PCIe 6+2 pin connectors at the end.

I am guessing the answer is yes, but could anyone please confirm if it is fine to use the dual connector cables to the same graphics card (currently an HD 7990) or if I should be using two separate single connector cables attached to the PSU to ensure enough power is supplied to the graphics card?
 
Great, thanks for the quick reply! Being able to use a single cable will make the case a little bit tidier which always helps!
