London Victoria with 3 sets ?
South Eastern Side, then, two sets of "south central" platforms, the
"middle" ones where Gatwick Express is located, and then the
high-numbered ones for longer distance Southern services to the coast
which are down past the escalators to Victoria Place.
No, you can stand at the entrance to the concourse and see all the
platforms at once, and they are numbers intuitively from left to right.

Pedantically, can you see them all from one point, or would either WHS
(Chatham side) or the escalators up (high numbers) be in the way?

I think you might. But the main point is that they are all one flow of
platforms at the same level. Contrast with somewhere like Manchester
Piccadilly where two of the platforms are in a completely different
place - and the icing on the cake is that when you stand on the
concourse the platform numbers go 1-10, 13-14 [1], 11-12; although I'm
not claiming that 11-12 are a different set from 1-10.
