The spore burst special rule will place D3 mines under the first template, and then you may still place the second and third big blast. Nowhere is stated that you can't place them, so you can.

But if you have 3 biovores with 3 spore mine launchers then they will ALL have the spore burst special rule. Won't that trigger the spore burst special rule 3 times, once per biovore? That way you can place 3D3 mines, maxing out at 9, who can deal that S10 blast as described. That could just be what Games Workshop intended.

What do you guys think?

If it's a unit firing barrage, it will become multiple barrage.
There will only be one "first blast" no matter how many shots are fired. They're all combined into one attack.

That's not true, read the rules.
first the closest weapon fires, then the next and so on.
They fire at the same point, It doesn't become a multiple barrage.
If you would fire with 2 barrage weapons in the same unit, they will fire together, but all with their own special rules. so 3 biovores shooting together doesn't become 1 weapon barrage 3, but it stays 3 weapons barrage 1. And all of them with that special rule.

I suggest re-reading the Multiple Barrage rules, especially this sentence: "If a unit fires more than one shot with the Barrage special rule, they fire together, as follows"

And nothing that follows says that the profile changes.

I never said the profile changes, I'm simply stating that a unit of Biovores fires a multiple barrage, and only the first shot will generate d3 spore mines if it misses per the Spore Burst rule.

I'd forgotten the wording on Spore Burst - I agree.
