With the continual expansion of windows and boxes that are needed for open roads, we have discovered that work is easier with three monitors. MicroStation only allows for two application windows to be opened. Is there a way to add the option of using three or more application windows?
MicroStation does allow more than 2 application windows"

I don't see this option. We are in a managed workspace, so I am not sure if that plays a part. Below is a screenshot of my view.
I have to assume you are using V8i and not CONNECT. This is only available in the CONNECT Edition.
As Tim mentioned the ability to use more than 2 application windows is available in the CONNECT Edition of products. You may want to see whats available in OpenRoads Designer CONNECT Edition:

Thanks for the hint. I just tried this and at first I thought it's really handy. Now I think it's only handy if you have only one MS session open and don't switch between applications with Alt+Tab - if you open a drawing with the two or three application windows approach you'll get two MS application icons for each session. So if you are working on multiple files (as I often do, up to 10, 15 files open simultaneously) that just doubles or triples the amount of open windows to switch through.
So I'll stay with my oversized window that stretches half into my second monitor.
