Re: fixture whips

Yes you can wire end to end but the two code references I cited have a limit on the length depending on the fixture wire. The OP did not state what the size of the fixture wire was. If its 12 or 14 AWG then its a branch circuit not a fixture tap. The definition determines the rule.
