I like the idea of the iron plates. If we want to be neurotic, three plates so that each line sees symmetric iron. Probably doesn't even need to be that thick. Without the plates, we should look at a simulation, I would expect relatively significant fields outside, and spreading out enough that you're not going to get great shielding from the return yoke from the adjacent line. But the thing to do is check in a simulation, Nick probably even has 3-D maps from the CBETA correctors.
