You could get away with no additional wiring as it is, but I would add feeder wires about every six feet and solder the rail joiners. The joiners are notorious for working loose over time, even on EZ-Track. I've been using EZ-Track for years and I've found that some of the joiners will become slack over time. Oxidation also plays a role in breaking down the connection between the rails and the joiners.
