Article 230-2 permits more than one service for a building if the total service exceeds 2000A.
Can these services enter the building on opposite sides and have the service disconnect means in different rooms?

Yes, and if there is a local requirement for them in a central location you could probably use a remote trip button to shut them down.

We did a large automated food distribution warehouse with 7, 3000 amp services spread around the building.

There is really no specification of required location of the multiple services. 230.2(E) states that each service has to identify the other service as to imply it may not be in that area. 230.72(B) states that the disconnecting means for fire pumps, legally required standby and optional standby services permitted by 230.2 shall be installed remote from the service disconnect means of the normal service.
