Thinking about it a bit more this makes sense.
Calculating every wheel separately isn't the whole story. In the end there is the friction caused by the complete landing gear which isn't wheel spin dependent.
So now you've got:
1. friction calculate every wheel separately.
2. add all frictions for the landing gear.
3. make the friction for every wheel dependent to wheel spin and use the result for moments and force calculations.
4. calculate the moments and forces for the complete landing gear.
5. calculate the result by averaging(?) the results for the complete gear (add this for all wheels) and every separate wheel.
Come to think about it, it's not averaging we need. The landing gear calculations are a vector from the midpoint between all wheels and as such should be added as a vector product to the calculations tot the separate wheels.
