I believe this is spelled out in the NFPA 14 handbook. You will need to do 2 sets of calculations. Where you only have 2 standpipes, you calculate the 750 gpm. When you get down to the level with 3 standpipes, you do another calc that goes to 1000 gpm.

Two of them go up 25 stories and the third only 4 stories. When I calculate them do I pick up 2@ 250gpm on the most remote high standpipe followed by 250 on the remaining stairwells including the low one or just the two high ones? To complicate the matter even more the high standpipes would not have a pressure reducing hose valves in the calculation but the low standpipe would need one.
