I believe you're are right :-(.

Branches are copies. In this case, you'd have to copy to three
different branch root directories (i.e. Finance/blah[1-3]/branches),
which takes three separate commands.

In my opinion, the only reason this arrangement would be appropriate
would be if you expect blah1, blah2, and blah3 to be independent (i.e.
out of synch) with each other as far as version and branches are
concerned. The fact that you're even considering having to branch them
at the same time suggests that that's not the case. I'd suggest instead
using:

Finance/
    |- trunk/
    | |- blah1
    | |- blah2
    | |- blah3
    |- branches/
    | |- blah1
    | |- blah2
    | |- blah3
    |- tags/
    | |- blah1
    | |- blah2
    | |- blah3
