Well I am not a DNS expert but why Google have the primary gmail MX record without load balancing and all secondaries are sharing the same prioritylevel.
Huh ? [...]
1888 (97%) messages were gated through Gmail's Primary mail server (gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com).
gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com is at least two machines, but much more likely to be at least two clusters of machines ... :
