Jan 9, 2022 at 20:18 comment added freeRmodule @Callum ah yes sorry that is what I meant--- for each T-fixed point take a Borel subgroup containing T which has an open orbit at that point, and take this as your cover. I will update my question and have a look at your reference. Thanks!
Jan 4, 2022 at 15:13 comment added Callum Perhaps you mean the open affine subsets formed by taking the "big" cell for each of a series of Borel subgroups. You can indeed form an open cover this way (and finite as well since $G/P$ is compact). I don't know the general theory of their intersections but the intersection of two complementary ones is a Richardson variety (see mathoverflow.net/questions/193867/…)
Jan 3, 2022 at 2:38 comment added Callum Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but the $B$-orbits don't intersect. Orbits of a fixed group are disjoint almost by definition. $G/P$ doesn't have an open cover by these orbits, it is precisely the disjoint union of the orbits.
