thank you. I did a quick google search to see this madzuri design.
From what I understand, you'd have to put buffer boxes in input and output and compare the fill rate of the boxes and activate/deactivate the redirections accordingly (you're talking about analyzing the flows on a small section of the belt and I'm having a hard time seeing how this is actually done / how it works).
Is this system likely to take up a lot of space?

If not, I've thought of something else: given that the line that consumes only 10% of the resources will fill up and stack faster than the two that consume 90% of the resources, won't it balance itself out naturally? Or is this a bad idea?

Uh, before I deal with that, the other way with splitters... I'm not an expert, but it tends to look like this:

#

you can kinda come up with arbitrary ratios by feeding parts of the belts back into earlier segments with loopbacks to create factional belts

Exceptions do exist, which is what I assumed your problem was related to

Exceptions that come to mind are like on Gleba, where all the ingredients are rotting, so sending too many towards a slow factory will cause them all to become spoilage before they manage to backpressure

#

I'll show you a balancer like you described anyways, cause designing the circuit will be fun for me anyways, gimme a sec

#

(but basically, belts backing up is good, and using them to balance a factory is normal and good, so you dont really need this most of the time)

Hmm, the simple version didnt work for a very annoying to fix reason
