But I can describe it.
The tops are torsion box construction which stiffens them immensely allowing the drawer boxes to free hang. My tops were the same height ( no step down) so you would have to do some figuring there but that should not be too hard.
The back corner legs has the support gussets too which mine had they were moved in (more centered) on the top to create what amounted to a 3 legged support both directions
That one has the same amount of legs just orientated differently (4 to the tall part and two to the shorter side).
So, what you are saying is that the drawers are supported by three legs, only missing the front interior leg. Is that correct?

The top is supported by three legs (two next to the drawer units one at the far end) and the top supports the drawer box carcasses
here is a similar but not quite the same as free standing desk I built

The top is 2 layers of particle board laminated with overlap at the corner joint.It has support along the outside back edge but open between the end drawer Boxes. The dim are 6 ft by 7 ft and we have seen no problem with sagging top
I really like the lines of that piece, most office furniture is much too contemporary, and harsh looking for my taste, that is comfortable. Nice job.

Got it. Basically, as long as the backside of the top is supported, it sagging should not be a problem. Nice desk! Thank you for sharing your pieces, it really helps!
