1 section = 1 architecture
different sections can have different architectures as they don't touch
each other
I usually try to run a fair share in i386 to get some exposure of the
packages specific to one architecture, e.g. [foo]:amd64, but
[foo-rcmd,foo-nodocs]:i386, [squeeze-lfs]:amd64, [squeeze2lfs2wheezy]:i386
but somehow this doesn't scale well ... and doesn't cover all corner cases

and for other cases I do full duplication:
[wheezy2jessie-rcmd], [wheezy2jessie-rcmd_i386]

Blowing up to real full manyarch support would be a big project, maybe
something for GSoC? Would probably need a database backend for the
master+report side. And needs a concept first. And TIME.
