Note that it's reasonable for all the taps to be ALMOST the same height, spaced much more closely vertically than the start/stop height difference, so you get about the same head no matter how many jets are running.

But at the turnover (start level) you want the bottom of each tap's turnover to be about as high as, or higher than, the top of the next lower one's, so all the flow goes into starting one siphon, rather than getting distributed over several and thus never sucking the bubble out of any of 'em.  Similarly you'll want SOME difference between the height of the lower ends so they "suck out" cleanly and one at a time.

Thanks, maybe sometime later this winter I'll get some time to play around with a standpipe and syphon.
