I'd love to be wrong here, but for years nvidia imposed a limitation of only 2 monitors possible at all when I was already doing 6x wide with ati on a 5870 card.  As buggy as fglrx tended to be, it mostly worked as a desktop in ways nvidia seemingly could only dream.

What does this show on yours for the first line?  The maximum is relevant here.

mb@host:~$ xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 11520 x 2160, maximum 16384 x 16384

I believe you've read into their Max Resolution incorrectly.  The max resolution that Nvidia shows is the maximum the card can drive any single monitor... so in other words the 1080 is capable of driving an 8K monitor as well as whatever other monitors you happen to have hooked up.  You can run whatever monitors it supports in whatever configuration you like and you will get the correct resolution that you are looking for.

Looking at the plugs available on the nvidia 1080 it looks like it would easily drive 3-8K monitors and a 4K monitor all at the same time giving you 26880x4320
