First Easy Multihome is three ASNs worth of routes from your location.

Second there is no way you could have three full bgp feeds in one IRX. You
can have two feeds if you don't mind the IRX not forwarding for about 5-10
min every time bgp has to recalculate. A IRX just does not have the
processing power to have more than one full bgp feed.
