There is still benefit in matching the paralleled strings as closely as practical by voltage for an MPPT controller. The controller can only adjust the voltage coming into it from all of the strings together. As an absurd example, if you were to take six identical panels and connect three in series to the controller and the other three individually in parallel to the controller, you would reap much less power than if you were to connect two strings of three for example. In the first example the voltage would have to drop to what the single panels were able to contribute in order for them to contribute anything, and that would be terribly inefficient for the three in series. In the second, with two strings of three in series with those strings connected in parallel to the controller, the controller can adjust to the voltage where maximum power comes in, which for the two strings should be similar and therefore make much better use of the panels.
