The more separation between the antennas the better

but a 'relative to each other' a multiple antenna system locked to the
same 'clock' for each satelite is its own differential system with respect
to the differance in the SAME signal recieved at the two locations.

Not this is only valid for the relative 'position difference vector' which
just
happens to the directional vector between the antenae
eg heading :-)

absolute measurements such as position and/or elevation are a
different story

in other words since all antennas are receiving the same error
the error is nullified in relative position calculations
