With your underground cable run, theoretically if your trench is not 500 mm deep then you need a continuous concrete pour over the conduit. It would probably be fine to put your concrete slabs down and fill in the gaps with concrete, just make sure to put underground tape over the slabs.
The tape is just a thin orange plastic on a roll that has Danger electric cable written on it. It is pretty cheap.
I usually put a layer of tape a bit above the orange conduit, then another layer not far below the top fo the trench. That way anyone digging it up will find the tape fast
