No you gave the answer in your driver selection the hlg 185-36a are ran in parallel.
You can have 4 cobs on the driver each cob will be running 1.3A @36V divide the number of cobs by output current so for that driver its 5.2A / 4

Thanks for the reply. Can you recommend a driver for these Cobs that can be run in series, or should I proceed with the above driver and runparallel?from what I gather series is simpler and that is what I'm looking for.
