As Jörg mentions you can hold conveyor items until you have 3 using photoeyes and maybe a process flow batching process.

It looks like the problem you will have is the spacing for accumulation - all your conveyors have 1 x itemlength so will not transfer them in an accumulated block. You can place them in side a container or change the spacing on all the downstream conveyors so that they travel together - however you also need to change the y location so that this looks correct and then if you want block to accumulation it will not work. Depending on your requirements it's probably safest to put the three in a container.
