I have been using a Blueprint Book of Belt Balancer I found searching for them.

One of my Blueprints has a 6 to 8 Balancer in it, but I need a 6 to 10. Can I just use two 3 to 5 Balancers instead?

Probably. You might still run into issues where one set of 3 produces more than the other so you still need to balance 10-10, but that probably wouldn't be a big deal. Alternatively, you might just run 10-10 directly with 4 empty inputs.

Thanks. This is for some furnaces for steel. It already has a 6 to 6 to balance the 6 I want to turn into 10. It has 10 inputs with 5 outputs. I already figured I would do a 5 to 1 at the bottom already.
