I'm not really sure what you're showing here, especially with the packing tape covering all the evidence...I guess you mean like this.
The leds are 1/4w and I needed them dissipating between 76 mw and 230 mw.

Really doesn't matter.Shouldn’t realy parallel leds to one resistor ether one will allways take more power than the others.
String in series are fine as long as something is there to limit the current.
