As already discussed, this can be overcome with selective door openings on 22ks. So 2x3 coach is feasible.

What about the mk2s that used to be on this line? they seemed longer (071 engine + generator van + 6 coaches)

I really don't think a 6 coach 22k should cause any problems.
In my opinion IE should have ordered 6 coach sets only.
I do not like the idea of trains becoming shorter for Intercity routes.
