Will one 3A feed supply two of these?

it would supply all of them and more

If so, can I hard wire a 2 gang extension into each of the spurs and
label them clearly "for ???? use only"?

can, yes, but should, not really. If you use a non-standard
plug/socket type you'll be ok in the 'should' dept as well as the
works fine dept.

Surely if someone tried to plug a kettle in(?) anyway, it would
simply result in a blown fuse?

fuses blow at way above their rated carrying current.

Non-standard plug/sockets are fine, but what if some of the kit is powered
via a wallwart with built-in 13A plug? I would be tempted to hard-wire in a
trailing 13A socket and hold the wallwart in with cable ties - or even
superglue.
