The OP has 3, 24 volt, 230 watt panels in series, going to a Outback 60 charge controller. He is contemplating adding another panel or two.
The question is how would you wire it or rewire it and why.

OB-60 is only rated 125 Voc so the three in series is the max.

I am not sure it matters what the mix is but it needs to be even.
4 panels = 2 parallel, 2 series or 4 parallel is fine.
5 panels = 5 parallel panels.
