I’m enjoying the informed speculation! Even if I will likely never be able to stay in a Penthouse.
Based on both the concept art above, and the latest site photos:
I’m not sure they’d have a lower penthouse balcony be entirely overlooked by an upper penthouse balcony. You don’t spend that level of points to a) only have a recessed balcony, and b) have a different group above you checking out your business. I’m going to hazard a guess at two-level penthouses, but maybe 4 bay + 2 bay instead of 4+4 or 3+3?
They can easily finish with privacy partitions in the balconies with visible half-walls. I just don’t see how they go 6-wide with only 4 sleeping surfaces (when a living room Murphy is clearly visible in the rendering), nor do I see how the recessed upper balcony can be a separate penthouse from the larger lower balcony. The side bays could then be separate TPV studios or 1BR.
Also for fun, here’s a construction shot of the “too small” pool. I don’t think it’s as small as some are worried about:

Also, hot tub!
