Hmm thats an alternative but it will be nice though if we can configure it. We can change the number of material passing through without making any changes.
What is it exactly you want to build? Maybe I have some ideas for how to make it happen.
Incase it is what I think it is, to put 2 different materials into a factory, put routers # and junctions % like this:
>#%#%#%>
>%#%#%#>
with either material possibly coming from both sides simultaneously or just from one side each.
Then just lead conveyors to the factories directly from this chunk of blocks, from which the output can be put on one belt.
For more throughput, the thing can be doubled like this:
>#%#%#%
>#%#%#%
>%#%#%#
>%#%#%#
