Adding tubular webbing as bridge

I would make sure the ends don't work their way through the triglide. Sewing, as @TreeFrog suggests, seem like a good idea.

Take the tag end over the top of the slide and thread it thru once and it won't slip.
(My slides are not load rated so I double them.)

Unfortnately, this method doesn't work with 6k webbing due to the webbing thickness, sewing the end is required.

Yes. This is the way climbing harnesses were buckled before the new buckle type was invented. If people didn't buckle this way they could be in serious trouble.
 
No Sew. A water knot is the same thing as an overhand on a bite. except it can go through a ring.

Are you saying that an overhand creates a water knot? I don't think that's the case. The knots are similar but different with the tag ends of the overhand being together.

You can make an overhand using the water knot method if you feed the webbing in from the wrong direction.

Is there a reason you went doubled up on the webbing or would you be fine doing a single webbing tied on both ends?
By doubling it there is only one knot to possibly fail. Also, you have a choice of two bridge lengths by using one or two strands.
