Proper way to splice?

No problem. The key is a panelboard is mounted in a cabinet. You are free to splice in a cabinet of course.

I would be more concerned about the neutrals in the neutral bar.

So, this circuit is getting power from the blue wire? But it's not getting a neutral from the same panel? Maybe I am not seeing what I am looking for in the picture.

If these conductors are feeding thorough the panel then it's required to labeled as such.

How is that typically done?

The twisted together neutrals under the same setscrew is a deal breaker but that isn’t the question.

I only see black and white in and out, with only EGC's on the grounding bus.

look at the neutral bar to the lower right. Near the breakers The whites are twisted together and put under the same screw.

Oh, those neutrals. I've only been looking the two NM cables at the bottom.
It's doubly ridiculous that was done with all of those empty terminals. :roll:

Depends on the length, IIRC, >10’. IDR the article...I’m looking.

Missed the edit time.
250.86 exception No. 2 references ‘short sections’.
For the sake of argument we will say this is protection as it goes through a 6” concrete slab to the room below.

and (2) cables in one connector, and surface run cable- but I guess both those fly in some ahj's. is there only (2) black wires under the yellow? it looks like there is another (2) blacks doing something weird on the bottom... cant see. anyhow, if surface is ok its not too hard to set a couple of boxes and get it out of there...

Regarding your specific question, the EGC's should be spliced together just like the hot and neutral conductors from those two cables and a notation on the panel that there are feed through conductors. The label requirement was added in the 2011 NEC so it might not apply to your installation if it was done before the adoption of the 2011 NEC. As stated there are other issues.

Why ?
They land on a terminal that bonds the enclosure, if the equipment grounds where spliced together they would still need to bond to the enclosure
