I'd prefer:
1 ms. map on 12 sheets in the 300 (rather than ... :
manuscript).
Then either a simple note describing arrangement, e.g.
Sheets arranged left to right in three rows: top row
(sheets 1-4), middle row (sheets 5-8), bottom row (sheets
9-12). Or make an index map and record this in a 500 note
(do not make a separate catalog record for it). If this
were a printed map for which you were making an index I'd
put it in a 590 note, since it would pertain to your
library's copy only (with an ms. map, you're it).

I'd go with option 3, as I suppose you have already done something
along these lines while sorting out the sheets. It would also save
the considerable time it would take to figure out the lat/long on
12 sheets of a manuscript map, unless you've done that already. It
depends on how much time you've got to devote to this one record!
But option 3 is perfectly acceptable, and I've seen it done often.

For ease of use I prefer alternative 3, an index map.
