If you use \concat, there's no need to mess around with \hspace:

tripleNote = {
  \once \override NoteHead  #'stencil =
    #(lambda (grob)
       (grob-interpret-markup grob
        (markup  #:concat (#:musicglyph "noteheads.s2"
                           #:musicglyph "noteheads.s2"
                           #:musicglyph "noteheads.s2"))))
}
