I'm looking at getting the following lighting bars for my 20x20 garage:

I will need extended cords for them with the layout I'm having, and the power will come from the current light which I will remove and use an adapter:

This will allow me to control the lights with the wall switch. My question is, what is a good way to hide the cables linking the lights?

If you currently have the typical porcelain bulb holder mounted to an octagon box, buy a cover plate punched for a duplex outlet. Cheap. Easy.

You can find surface mount conduit that looks reasonable.

Those lights plug into each other. No separate power wire is needed how ever mine did come with a few 6in extensions.

Yes they CAN plug into each other, but I want them paid out in series, so will need a power cord to link them. My question is what people do with the extensions in terms of covering them or not.

Can you elaborate?

Would that bulb-plug adapter meet code?

I would assume so, how would I find out though for certain? Codes are new to me.
