The 7241 has 3 cathodes and 3 heaters - not really all that different from a scaled-up version of the 6336A, [most versions of] which have 2 cathodes and 2 heaters.The problem is the same that exists with the majority of pass tubes: notoriously mismatched sections.
In my experience, the 7241 is no worse than either the 6336A or the 6AS7 in this regard. In general, one has to either abandon the idea of paralleled sections/tubes or else accept these limitations.
The WE 421A is an exception to this rule.
BTW: I've never used [or even seen] the 7242.
