The expressions of the coupling coefficients (3j-symbols) for the most degenerate (symmetric) representations of the orthogonal groups SO(n) in a canonical basis (with SO(n) restricted to SO(n-1)) and different semicanonical or tree bases [with SO(n) restricted to SO(n'})\times SO(n''), n'+n''=n] are considered, respectively, in context of the integrals involving triplets of the Gegenbauer and the Jacobi polynomials. Since the directly derived triple-hypergeometric series do not reveal the apparent triangle conditions of the 3j-symbols, they are rearranged, using their relation with the semistretched isofactors of the second kind for the complementary chain Sp(4)\supset SU(2)\times SU(2) and analogy with the stretched 9j coefficients of SU(2), into formulae with more rich limits for summation intervals and obvious triangle conditions. The isofactors of class-one representations of the orthogonal groups or class-two representations of the unitary groups (and, of course, the related integrals involving triplets of the Gegenbauer and the Jacobi polynomials) turn into the double sums in the cases of the canonical SO(n)\supset SO(n-1) or U(n)\supset U(n-1) and semicanonical SO(n)\supset SO(n-2)\times SO(2) chains, as well as into the_4F_3(1) series under more specific conditions. Some ambiguities of the phase choice of the complementary group approach are adjusted, as well as the problems with alternating sign parameter of SO(2) representations in the SO(3)\supset SO(2) and SO(n)\supset SO(n-2)\times SO(2) chains.
