It's designed to run the outer through all 3 by the sounds of things. I have a couple of bikes with full length brake outer to the rear and the brakes are good. Perhaps your mate used some really cheap cables / outers or perhaps there is an issue with his brake lever / caliper. I doubt you will find any caps to hold the outer back as the guides usually have a curve as they meet the frame, which would definitely result in sponginess.
