Answering my own question and saying you've made a cock-up! I'm using
the 'morewrites' package and if you include it after setting up the
indexes you will get this result with using 3 indexes -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(/usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/tex/latex/morewrites/morewrites.sty
(/usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/tex/latex/morewrites/primargs.sty)
! No room for a new \write.
\e@ch@ck ...message {No room for a new \string #4}
                                                  \fi \fi 
l.34 \newwrite \g__morewrites_iow
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But if you put morewrites before the index setup, then 3 or more indexes
work perfectly well, with absolutely zero problems.

Thanks
Sharon.
