Kinda hard to keep formation if some aircraft are using 87 octane and some 100 octane...

No, at any manifold pressure and rpm setting below the knock limited performance of the fuel, the power will be the same.
Basically at any manifold pressure below +9lbs (limit for 87 Octane) in the Merlin, the power is the same for 87 Octane or 100 Octane fuels.
