What happens to hum canceling with 3 pups?

Anyone know how hum canceling work with an odd number of pickups? For example, what happens if you have a strat with standard bridge and neck with a rwrp center pup and have all 3 on at the same time?

In my mind, the center might noise cancel the bridge by 50% and neck by 50% but nowhere near 100% for both?

On the other hand, when spin spliting humbuckers, they seem to stay pretty noise free until 60 or 70% of a coil is grounded, so maybe the noise is masked by signal so maybe 1 rwrp pup can cancel enough nosie for 2?

If so, is there a ratio that can be extrapolated?

Ie, this seems overkill, but what if you had more pups, ie 2 rwrp to 3 normal for a total of 5?

Thanks for any and all ideas!

Just tried it out - when all 3 are on, the hum is half as loud as it is when only 1 is on.
