This is in no way formal, it is based on the assumptions and intuition given by the asker in the comments, and under the assumption that $\frac{n}{3}$ is odd.
The middle horizontal line $l_0$ crosses $\frac{n}{3} -1$ rhombus, where each pair of parallel edges of a rhombus are induced by two adjacent lines from the same vertical set. The horizontal lines $l_1$ and $l_2$, above and below $l_0$, respectively, cross $\frac{n}{3} - 2$ rhombus each. Proceeding similarly, we get the horizontal line $l_3$ above $l_1$, and the horizontal line $l_4$ below $l_2$ cross $\frac{n}{3} - 3$ rhombus each. Proceeding iteratively, and assuming $\frac{n}{3}$ is odd, we get that the number of rhombus crossed horizontally is $$ (\frac{n}{3} -1) + 2\cdot \sum\limits_{i=2}^{\frac{\frac{n}{3} - 1}{2}} (\frac{n}{3} - i)$$
As the the number of triples each horizontal lines passed through equals the number of rhombus it crosses plus one, we get that the number of triples is
$$ \frac{n}{3} + 2\cdot \sum\limits_{i=2}^{\frac{\frac{n}{3} - 1}{2}} (\frac{n}{3} - i + 1) = \theta(n^2)$$
