Simscape Driveline doesn't actually care where your gears are located, it only cares about the gear ratios. If you can conceive of a mechanical construction where the axes of these gears/gearsets are not concentric, as long as the gear ratios remain fixed you can model it using Simscape Driveline blocks.
