If I put 4 or 5 lights down the bottom frame rail on each side should I just tie into the wire for the trailer tail lights or will that make too much of a load on that wire?

Save yourself trouble down the road and buy the factory harness sections. If your parts guy is any good he will know the #'s for the sections. If not, find the same as your trailer and use that vin#

If you plan to keep the trailer a while I’d say save yourself the trouble and get the factory harnesses, even if it means rewiring your trailer. It will be less problems in the long run than splicing into existing wires given all the salt and chemical that gets used in winter. I just cut everything off that top row of lights on the back and started over. Guy that owned it prior to me used butt connectors and tape. And while I was at it I wired that top row to the bright side. Throws some good glow at night.
