If the standard bay window object is no good then you will need 5 walls with one window in each.
Stretch to the required width and adjust the corner settings to suit the angles.
I don't use the standard GS windows but I know they have corner options.
Hopefully if you use different windows they will all connect the same.

Otherwise create your own corner posts with the column tool.
You may also need to use empty openings to cut the wall away at the columns.
Then place windows in between the columns.

You can set custom corners on single windows to get continuous corner frame at the angle of your wrap.

Window Settings => Custom Corner

The issue with your window is the central window. I don't think there's a default window that has a two pane transom over a single large pane...

Thank you for good suggestions. They worked very well in this case.

How did you do the two top hung windows in your central transom? Or have you just done them as a sash with a horizontal division?
