yes. the roof is very large indeed. roof rafter length is longer than any roofing guide that i've read.

what do you mean with the rainwater piping? do you think a single drain pipe (per side) is not gonna be sufficient? i was opting to collect the rainwater, thus the single drain at the middle span.
the roof drain pipe area is marked with yellow in this figure:

unless you have a 12" diameter pipe or larger, i will see the downpipe get choked with water if it rains too heavily

you may have water spillover from the raingutter if that happens


imagine pouring a pail of water rapidly into this funnel:

just sharing info for you. maybe will neeed consideration and see your rainfall record in your area.
