Can it be done like this? (Wired like that because of the positions its for a mansion so distance from 1st light to middle is FAR, and through 2 internal walls in loft.. - Other two are next to each other
 
Yes, what you have there is that if either PIR operates then all the lights will come on, (worth checking that the PIR's can handle the load of three lights at once).
However I would not join brown to blue as you have in the bottom right light! (I assume just a drawing error!) and you are looping from light three to light one.
Occasionally on PIRs you get problems with there being a live feed on the "off" PIR load side, but not usually.
