How many drawer boxes should I build for the left bank of drawers?

Its always smart to build your drawer boxes to fit the opening, not the other way around. I build 3 for the left bank of drawers and one for the center.

How to accommodate horizontal support?

In order to accommodate the horizontal support, I notched the center panels with a jigsaw. You want to try to hide the pocket holes if possible, so make sure you drill them on the drawer-side of the panel and not the side that will be open. I also added edge banding to the edge that would be exposed on the front of the desk.
