Producing exercise sound files for the choir, they basically wants
mp3's or something similar. I have tried ogg but their systems kind
of not understands that.

I'd like to have e.g. basses at left, tenors mid left, altos mid right
and sopranos at right, to make each voice easier to hear and follow.

Attached is a template I use for a Gospel quartet, Karl. It produces a master score, scores for each part with their voice isolated, and corresponding MIDI files, again with each voice set a bit louder than the other three. I can also use timidity to convert the MIDI files to .mp3 for those who need that format.
