How do I make 5 to 5 load balancer

This is my first play through and I’m tired of needing energy, I believe I’m working on tier 3, so essentially I’m trying to make a 2160 crude oil PM (Per Minute) into as much energy as possible. But Im starting off with testing 900 crude oil PM and I have 5 belts of 480 watered down fuel PM, and it’s close looped with the unpackagers and water packagers. I’ve thought about it and I’m worried that all my canisters will end up on 1 line causing loss to power (although not a complete loss since some of it would still be running) so I figured if I put a 5-5 load balancer between the water packagers and watered down fuel it would keep things consistent. I’ve thought of putting just 5 of 1-6 load balancers and having the 6th line of each flow back into the main line, although then my throughput would lower to 400 items PM on each line. I’ve tried drawing it out and what I have may work but if the lines somehow became uneven it wouldn’t be equal outputs. Here are my drawings if anything I’d like to know how to do the math for doing load balancers because when I make the 2160 crude oil to fuel I’ll have to do roughly a 12-12 load balancer (idk I haven’t done the math for that yet) but any help is appreciated.
