I am just considering the maximum possible stacking gain, not the different
elevation angles.

Take a look at HFTA using flat ground ...
A stack of 3 element yagis at 35/70/105/140 shows between 6 and 7.5 dB
over a single 3 element yagi at 70 feet between 2 and 11 degrees. The
"crossover point" (where the higher lobe of the 70 antenna overtakes the
stack is around 16 degrees. The "three stack" (35/70/105) advantage is
between 3 and 4.5 dB over a similar 2 to 18 degree range.
Since HFTA does not model mutual impedance effects, the relative
difference is the same if one substitutes 4 element for 3 element
yagis.
