Ours was four sprockets on three axles so it was a slightly smaller version of a 6wd setup which requires putting sprockets side by side which gets trickier for space in the tube.
Here is a picture of a product from Team 221 LLC that shows a double chain inside of 2" x 1" x .125" tubing. Not sure if the sprockets shown are their double 17t sprockets that Rahul linked to earlier.

I'll have to check, but I believe our gearbox didn't direct drive one of the wheels, so it was 2 strands. I want to say we had some spacers on the shafts with one sprocket as well, and I seem to faintly remember whittling the sprocket width down a bit.
