The oven and cooktop have to be on their own circuits.Wiring on same circuit could cause fire if breaker does not trip off.
U can add the 20 feet through a junction box, but box must be accessible. It cannot be buried in wall.

A typical oven and cooktop are allowed to be supplied with one 50 Amp circuit. The #6-3 feeder can be split into two feeders, usually two #10-3 cables, one for each the oven and cooktop.
Use a 4-11/16 in square box and cover.
