To add to what has been said (you could use 2 PSUs and have enough cables), you could also go for PCIE extenders. Those extenders would convert your 1 PCIE 6pin connector to 2 PCIE 6+2pin connectors. It is safe and i've been using it for months now without problem. You just need to make sure that you only connect 1 extender per PCIE cable. Don't overload it by connecting more than 1 extender.

Your Vega 56's require (3) 8 pins?  What kind are they?  Mine only require (2) 8 pins.  I have some 8pin splitters sitting here, but I have not tested them on anything yet.  I thought I was going to need them for one of my Nvidia rigs, but it turned out I had enough in the box for what I needed.  I also use two psu's for each rig, so I end up with enough cables.  Some of them I have to use two single 8 pins, but with two psu's, you end up ok.
