One jig the hight of you tallest bent is all you need, then just cut the legs to the lengths you need. I made mine a little tall and cut them to size as I installed them.
VERY true, this is how my father has been making bents (albiet HO and HOn3) for almost fifty years now. He made a jig to the highest height ever needed and builds them in the jig. Once out, you can put on the far side bracing and build up your bridge.
