I see no reason for not doing everything in the one drum. There will need to be a bit of pipework rejigging  but it is do able.
You would need to overfill the processor in order to drain off 10lts or so following a settling period. That's one drum out of the equation.
I'm unsure of your water washing technique....if its a bubble stone have it in a fixed position using copper tubing but well within the water level. If you mist wash transfer all the pipework across. That takes another drum out.

Make sure you can drain off any water during the washing. I see little point in having a final drum for settling prior to centrifuging. Once the bio is washed and dried I'm not sure what the centrifuge will catch. I just filter my fuel through a 1micron meltblown.

It's all about the new configuration of pipes and valves.
