Hey Chris,
I know this is a little late, but I was watching the dvd on my new 'man toy' (very big tv) and you are 100% right!
The command console is U shaped, there are two pairs of screens on the small ends, and
8 pairs of screens in the center section.
The picture above shows the two pairs of screens on the right side of the console. The beginning of the drop sequence when Ferro says "stand by cross locking now", and Gorman is moving his chair into position, shows the other two pairs on the left side.
The scene where Gorman says "everybody on-line lookin' good" shows all 8 pairs as the camera pans across.
Just wanted to reassure you.
