I'd speak to a friendly commercial electrician and see if you can get some out the back of the van

Cant imagine any wholesalers doing that.

Either find a local spark, building site etc etc and ask.
Anyone working in the game would have easy access. I've retired though ! lol

Although what size conduit is it ? Not just fire some 4mm T&E at it ? Most places will sell that in cuttings.

Buy a 7 metre length of twin and earth, strip the cable apart and then sleeve the earth ( 2.5mm) with earth sleeve. the earth doesn't need to be the same size, it's only there as a safety reason. if the conduit is earthed steel tubing you don't need a cable earth.
Hopes this helps.
ps I'm an NICEIC certified electrician.

4mm could be either stranded or solid...very rare to be solid though these days.

Singles usually have more strands though.

But again, what size is the conduit, and what length ?
