While it is a good idea to weigh each section, you should weigh the whole ball of dough first. Then split it into equal thirds, which may not be exactly 14oz. as stated in the recipe. Your large eggs and mine may be different, not to mention that every bread recipe gives a range of flour to be added. Thus, your total may be different than mine.
Another suggestion about braiding loaves - instead of pinching the strands together and braiding from there, try laying the strips next to each other and braid from the middle to each end. It's easier to tuck the ends in, rather than having a clumpy blob at one end.
