I actually think, for a gas range, that arrangement is one of the most sensible ever.  Perfect for4 families that used a lot of big pots at the same time to prepare a meal.

Alot of people around here had stoves with heaters either like that gas one or oil when I was a kid. They do have to be vented in a chimney

A neighbor had a Roper with that burner arrangement, which eliminated having to reach over hot pans or flames, but without the heater.

I bet that arrangement worked well for home canning.
