I must say that the pictures you posted are VERY impressive. Each leyer would hold 400 seedlings (by what I was able to decifer from the image).

If the bottom layer was the seedling tray, (you can stagger out 200/200 at a couple weeks apart) and the second layer held 200 mid age plants and the top 200 mature you could have a harvest of 200 a week or two (depending on the type you grew) in what looks like a relatively manageable area. I will do some more drawings on your design to see what I can come up with on that regards. I love the idea you have there.

On second thought the mature (heavier) plants should probably be on the bottom lol.. But I didnt want to go back and retype it.

That looks like a wonderful way to get a large amount of lettuce going in no time. It would easily feed a few families and take little investment comparitavly.
