Are the stands in T5B ever used as two code C stands? It doesn't look like you could board two flights there simultaneously.
I'm not aware of the T5B stands being used for two A320s (as an example) at the same time. The gates aren't set up in the same way as the A380 stands on T3 Pier 6 and in T2A, for example, where there are separate gate doors.

I would imagine that there isn't demand for T5C stands to be used by multiple aircraft - the stands would need to be provided with additional marshalling equipment, ground power etc.
