I believe it is PAN-PAN that should be repeated three times, i.e. 
PAN-PAN PAN-PAN PAN-PAN.  Only one MAYDAY or PAN-PAN is used in each 
subsequent transmission.

Incidentally, in aviation use, I believe that PRACTICE-PAN is used for 
simulated emergencies, and probably ought to be used in other exercises.

The voice ones, however, are stilled used for aviation purposes.
