It is quite a chore to plumb them all seperately, I'm not sure how a shared pipe would affect the setup.
i think that you're fine to combine the pipes into a single pipe AS LONG as the pipe's flow capability exceeds all three pipes combined.

In theory that means that 3 1" pipes can flow into a single 2" pipe and it would handle the flow.
