They come in various sizes, with 2.5mm spacing.

Sure you can make something work with those.
Just an FYI here.
They do have a 20 way version of the JST XA connectors, but it seems only RS really stocks them. E14 & Mouser don't have much of the JST XA range, and Digikey don't carry them at all.
RS seem to only sell these connectors in min Qty's of 10 for the sockets/plugs, and socket pins in an absolute min Qty of 50 (the 250+ pack of socket pins is better on price when I checked).
If you use 2 in-line sockets, 2 pcb mount plugs and 40 socket pins for a setup, minimum buy would get you 5 sets, so if you consider going this route, you might want to find others who want to split the cost somehow.
Good luck!
