Fusion
You may want to use Arrange instead of Nest. Please attach your model. If you do not know how to attach your model, open it in Fusion360, select the File menu and then choose Export and save the .F3D file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section of a reply forum post to attach it.

You can have as many sheets of material as you desire. The trick is to sketch each sheet as a "separate" sketch. I copied your components multiple times to demonstrate. If you right click and edit Manufacturing Model 1 under the Manufacturing environment, you will see my arrangements. Model attached.

I am not sure if this is the real cause of the problem but here goes. First thing I did was create a Sheet Metal rule for your model.
I then converted all your model bodies to components. Next, using the Sheet Metal tool Convert to Sheet Metal, I converted all the components using the sheet metal rule above.
I did a Nesting Study of a couple of components, with 1 ea quantity, and it brought Fusion 360 to its knees! It took every bit of 2 minutes to calculate this. It completed as show below.
I went back and added two more components and the Nesting Study started but then quite. So I do not know if your computer can do better because I do not think a nest of only two components at a time will be much good to you. I have this feeling all the intricate notching has some effect on the efficiency. Model is attached.
