Actually, Serum's way is best. Because there aren't any nickel strips between the cells, the cells can actually be soldered end to end. This will give a lower resistance than side by side because there aren't any battery bars to add more resistance. A direct connection between electronics will always yield the lowest resistance.

EDIT:
The cells are soldered together using a "hammerhead" soldering iron tip. Here is one:
