I don't know that much about glow plugs but electricity is after all electricity using Ohm's law if you have a multimeter with DC amp capability you can hook it it up inline better known as series connection and make sure you have it in the right range and operate it as normal and see what your amp reading is and then determine if your wire is heavy enough to handle the load and as someone said in an earlier post those glow plugs should have a resistance value in a spec book somewhere. Basically if you know what the resistance is of one then multiply that by six or whatever total amount in a series and with a known voltage ie; 6 or 12 by using Ohms law can determine the amp reading. My opinion is if you have a glow plug that has a high resistance it could cause problems. A multimeter set on Ohms could find the problem if you unhook each one and take a reading on each one writing them down and if one is higher than anyother by more than 10% it could have a problem.
