A fundamental issue is that the ragged small-gauge stranded hookup wire serving as a jumper cable is a very poor choice for the purpose. A larger-gauge jumper made with a higher-quality conductor would serve the purpose better, even though it would not be a single contiguous conductor like the configuration shown in the photo. Whether or not the exposed wire is covered with heat shrink won't improve the sonic performance of the wiring method.
The bottom line is, if one is using basic 18 AWG hookup wire as speaker wiring, it doesn't really matter what method is implemented for the task. A more sophisticated high-performance speaker cable won't be as easy to implement that way, and the sonic result would most likely be unacceptable from a high-performance perspective vs. a high-quality jumper cable.
