Many supreme courts or international courts do work like this though. They consist for instance totally of 10 judges but some cases are just taken up by three of them. I haven't encountered any inconsistencies there. Although I do not know how they solved it. Probably because they have and use a good bureaucratic system.
Two points:
(1) WP:ISNOT a bureaucracy. :-) I had to get that out there. (2) I'm probably more interested in the lower-court system since I'm from the United States and I'm modelling this after the Supremer Court. My main point, however, is that while increasing the number of Arbs may improve the situation, it couldn't improve the situtation any more than a lower court system would also- but the lower court system would have fewer possible drawbacks.

Regarding number 2, this is how the US appeals courts work. "In a court of appeals, an appeal is almost always heard by a "panel" of three of the court's judges, although there are instances where all of the judges will participate in an en banc hearing." [[United States court of appeals]]
I have no idea what the advantages/disadvantages are supposed to be.
