Joe,
Seeing your photo and as your not happy to cut wire to length and put into existing ceiling rose, I would do what you first suggested.
1) Buy some 6A Terminal Blocks and Buy the hook plate.

2) Mark the cables so you know which is Switched Live (Right Black) and Neutral (Left Black) and Live Loop (Middle Reds)
3) Remove your ceiling rose.
4) Screw Hook plate to Ceiling (or use your hook if you feel it is string enough, but I would think it will not screw into ceiling securely enough to take the weight).
5) Join the Two live red wires (loop) together using 1 Terminal Block.
6) Join the Two Ground wires together using 1 Terminal Block.
7) Push Switched Live (Right Black) into the Lamp "L" terminal
8) Push Neutral (Left Black) into the Lamp "N" terminal
9) Put Lamp on hook
10) Slide White cup up to hide it all.
Looking at your photo, is your Ceiling rose actually/currently screwed into your ceiling. I cannot see any screws in the Screw holes??
