You should have no problem fitting three bike carriers across the 54 inch cross bars, part # RRVA137B-2. And like you mentioned you also need # RRRLKVA, and # DK357.

To carry the bikes I recommend three of the RockyMounts TomaHawk, part # RKY1222. It's a high quality carreir that's less expensive than a lot of the others. It also carries the bikes by the wheel so you don't have to take the wheel off to load it. If any of your bikes have fenders this can be a problem. Another option is a frame-mount carrier like the Swagman Upright, part # S64720.

With any roof rack carrier I recommend checking the roof capacity of your C-Max. Each bike carrier is about 10 to 15 pounds and the roof rack itself is over 10 pounds. All of this plus the weight of the bikes needs to stay under the vehicle's roof capacity.
