How to build a complex parallel Jenkins pipline?

I've been interested in converting our bespoke Jenkins integrations into a pipeline. However, I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

Can anyone help me with the Jenkins script that could do the following?

1---2---3-----------9---10
    |           |
    |---4-------|
    |           |
    |---5---6---|
        |       |
        |---7---|

1: Start pipeline
10: End pipeline
5: Build some files
   * needed by 6, 7,
   * needed as artifacts at the end
2, 3, 4, 6, 7: Have jUnit result files, should be available at end of
   test (somewhere), even if one failed

Is this even possible? Or should I just join after 3, 4, 5? Like this:

1---2---3-------6-------9---10
    |       |   |   |
    |---4---|   7---|
    |       |
    |---5---|

Glad to hear your feedback!
