In The SYW, it seems inadequate to speak of quantities of fronts, since Prussia was literally surrounded by enemies at all compass points.

Affairs in the west were made easier, however, by the Duke of Brunswick's army of Hannoverians, Hessians, Brunswickers and British, which pretty much kept the French and Imperials at bay. The Prussians put in a cameo appearance at Rossbach, and then went back to dealing with the real war.

The "Imperial" forces were actually Austrian forces and vassals of the Austrian Hapsburgs though right.
