Well, i'm thinking of the many times my Monk and Valk were spearing the 2nd row of enemies before they had a chance to fill in where i'd killed off the first row; the rest of the party was flinging missiles when gaps like that came up. And if the whole party has extended- range weapons, that's another time an extended-range sword is handy.
Especially one that does 30% KO.
You could also run a party of 3 and put them all in the middle.
Actually, 9 would fit, and 8 do, in flank-center-flank. If you're facing the enemy, everyone will be at the same range.
