Can I connect lower power pedals like Boss or EQD pedals into 5 and 6?

There's no danger of plugging in a pedal that draws less current than is supplied by a pedal power (E.g. a pedal that only requires 80 mA is safe to plug into a 250 mA power tap) Just make sure the pedals correctly match in voltage to the power supply. (Most are 9 volt center negative)

Yep, what he said (above)...
It is fine to power standard/low current (mA) draw pedals from high current capacity outputs.
As long as the voltage and polarity are correct, your effect pedal will naturally by physics, draw only as much current (mA) as it is designed to draw.
For example, powering a pedal that requires 9VDC at 35mA from a 9VDC output with 100mA (or 250mA or 400mA) capacity is fine.
It is important that proper voltage and polarity are observed.
Cheers!
