Yes, this produces three result documents.

However, if in general you want to organize overlapping processing,
and first determine each "processing area", the two-pass approach is a
good one.

In XSLT 3.0 I would put the "area definitions" in a map. The map
data-type can have very efficient implementation, where adding some
new key-value pair to produce a new map is efficient -- that is, this
operation doesn't copy the original map into the new one (that would
be the case if a temporary result tree was used), but internally
*refers* to the old map.
