If they did manage to fit a full third strand in the DNA molecule, that molecule would probably be rendered useless just because it wouldn’t interact with the cell’s machinery at all. And also the triple DNA would have to be constantly supplied to cells somehow because it does not occur like that naturally. A scary number, but not practical for the scientists nor for the experimentees.
I have seen it explained the DNA process to recombine starts as two separate strands of double helix dna the process to install third strain to the double helix sees one strand attaching to the double helix and sheds the unabsorbed strand..the result not found in nature would most likely require frequent injections to maintain and perfect it would seem.
