Personally I would get some Panduit compression lugs and just bolt and tape.
They make lugs that you can stack and you can also put them back to back so you could have like four of the big ones put together without any real problem.

We would just use a tap box with bus and multiple holes for lugs. Are these all service conductors? If so there should be no EGC's.

Thanks. Service conductors before the tap. 4#500 so no ground. After the tap goes to a panel, booster pump and disconnect for fire alarm.
Lugs attached directly to box some sort of bus detail?

The service conductors end at the service disconnect. I don't see any OCPD on your drawing.

Just meter and CT cabinet.

Then all of your service disconnects fed from that splice point need to be grouped in one location.

What would you mount lugs to? Directly to box or a copper detail?

From a previous post. You can buy a box that has copper bus in it with holes so you can use your own lugs.
