Still just one gear (closest to spur gear) that transfers all power to center gear.
The second gear have to transfer power to center gear to make any difference.
Just my thought.
Yes, but the second gear away from spur would push up against the 2 centre gears to help prevent them from flexing away from the driven gear and causing it to slip. It would work sort of like a pressure gear to prevent side flex whilst power is applied.

Who knows, maybe its strong enough and with a little grease in there in should be ok. It was just a thought.
