The books the others have mentioned are great and I'd recommend them with the addition of Zimmerly's book "Qayaq : Kayaks of Alaska and Siberia". He has surveyed many baidarkas including several multi-hole examples. The drawings in the book are excellent some of which can also be found on his WEB site:
in PDF form. I would also recommend considering the rudder option in this case. I am not usually a fan of the things, but they can be invaluable on large boats especially when loaded down or for those times when you may be paddling thing yourself (even with the other cockpits full :-) If you don't need it you can always pop it up, but if you find yourself in a current or the kids are playing in the water dragging on one side or the other, it will be there to help you out.
Good luck on this project. Should be fun in any case!
