Duplex boxes will be nailed to 2x4 stakes and pushed flush into the bale walls and the UF cable will snake up to the boxes through notches carved in the bales. It's not a good idea to have plumbing in bale walls so I've designed it to have all interior plumbing (potable and DWV) in that interior partition wall.
Hopefully you will continue to keep us updated with pictures. Sounds like you have your work cut out for you!
