I'd probably put a Royer over each section, set up the B&Ks as an overall distant stereo pair, and use the 414s (padded) as close mics on soloists. Have the 184s ready to swap out on the soloists if it sounds wank.

Royers through APIs, B&Ks through GMLs, and solo mics through the Avalon.

Lots of room tone in their headphones -- they'll probably respond well to the ambience and the perception that they're all playing simultaneously in the same room.
