Personally, I'd prefer to simply quote the FT2 rules, page 9:
"Beam weapons are mounted on ships in BATTERIES, consisting of a number
of
projectors slaved together under a single control system."
Nothing says that the weapons making up a single battery all need to be
mounted in one single turret :-)
