Knit more than two surfaces on an edge

Hi there

I have a honeycomb pattern that results in dusins of surface bodies because of the failure of no more than two sheets can be joined on the edge.

Any workaround this, its for simulation (Shell). Yes I can group them but still there is a whole lot of them.

I've attached an example, can this be done into one or less surface bodies?

Thanks for any help and directions would be appreciated.
