Look at the manufacturer's installation instructions - if those show three going into one, seal around all three to keep the air outside, otherwise, do it like is shown in the installation instructions (I've never seen where three into one have been shown in the installation instructions).
While that is true, I think it all boils down to interpretation and the fact that the AHJ is the voice of authority even if they are wrong.
