Under Cabinet Lighting - Opposite Walls - One Dimmer Switch

Doing some hard-wired under cabinet LED lighting, pretty straightforward except for one issue. I've got a short run of kitchen cabinets on an opposite wall that I'd like to also be controlled by the same ELV dimmer switch. I think it can be done this way:

Dimmer Switch -> 14AWG in wall to Cabinet Junction Box - > 1st run of Under Cabinet Lighting (~20' linear cabinets) ->Cabinet Junction Box ->14AWG in wall over to opposite wall ->Cabinet Junction Box -> 2nd run of Under Cabinet Lighting (~2').

I was planning on using the Phillips eW Profile lighting and it seems they even offer a handy junction box to do this with:

It says it can do up to 50' continuous run and apparently the transformer is built-in.

Hopefully some kind person can give me some advice. Thanks :)
