Bizarrely I came to the same conclusion less than a minute before reading
your post. I also think that the Vic and Northern should go through their
shared circle in a north-south direction to make the direction of the
cross-platform interchange clear.
Well actually a few weeks ago I was working on a map that did just
this. The idea is that a cross platform interchange is as almost as
good as a through journey, so should be shown the same.

As you can see, I got stuck working out the Aldgate triangle and
whether to include the DLR, so East London is missing.
If you can find a continuous line on this map, you can cross London
without traipsing down tunnels or over footbridges. There's various
weirdness that exists solely to back up this point (eg showing where
terminating trains use inconvenient platforms). I've also tried to
show how the Met and Northern actually work, and I count the Northern
City as a tube service, albeit with limited hours. The current
Heathrow layout is probably a mistake. The way I've done Monument/Bank
is deliberate.
