The only answer to the question "is the math going to be more complex?" is YYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS. However, it isn't going to be unmanageable in software. Double however, the offset for the extruders is changing all the time so the Slicing software will have to be hacked or there will have to be a tool change code and the firmware will have to take care of it. Triple however, firmware probably can't handle this.
Bottom line, it can be done and won't be too bad. You will have to put the inverse kinematics right into the slicing program for this to work with our present technology.
Note: this is all on the back burner. I have to focus on getting all the beta machines together and shipped and then I will get crazy again. Maybe, I will make a Six-arm Simpson or a Sextupteron.
