Law of diminishing returns. The closest you'd get is 3 seperate yet equal strands, IMO.

How'd that be, Nick? ABS is an average, if you take 3 strands working evenly how do you increase each ropes efficency greater than 1? Seems to me that 3x BW lines working perfectly together would equal 3x the ABS. Given sufficent tests, the bell curve on the ABS of each 3 strand test would...

For dynamic lowering compared to static (relative) lifting then lowering? Sure.

Raising doesn't generate much heat, and it would be well suited. The rope I use for lifting is essentially thick black widow covered with poly. The poly is only there to protect the core.

Either would suck for a lowering rope as both have a really low melting point.

It depends on how tight the chevrons are braided. Tight as corn rows will be really weak, french braid would be stronger, and even looser would be stronger.

Nope, but you should be able to get near it, maybe 20-21k. Bends in the rope reduce strength. 3 straight lengths would get you at/near/above 22.2k. Looser the braid the closer you'll get.
