You can do that via VE.Smart Networking. One of the three charge regulators will become the master and will guide the other two regulators in the charging phase. Before creating the network just set the charging parameters (according to your need) in the three charger. For more details

Please check panel strings to the MPPTs with the Victron online calculator. Looks like you're going to kill the MPPTs with over voltage.
