It is 1x1 you can place it on a transportbelt you need 2 gears and 2 iron to craft it and will solve some balansing problems.

There already is a lane balancer. It typically takes 8 tiles and crafting costs are 1 splitter and 6 belts.

If you use a loader-enabling mod, you can get a better one, which takes only 5 tiles in a straight line, with the crafting cost of 1 wooden chest and 2 loaders.

It's part of the game puzzle to figure how to balance lanes (or how NOT TO NEED) lane balancing.
Adding a sandalone lane balancer would trivialize the issue into a non issue, thus removing part of the puzzle from the game.
This kind of things should belong to modding world, not vanilla.

Developers will never add a new feature to the game which can already be solved by existing tools without a major drawback. And bigger size is not considered a drawback.
Just accept it.

There already IS a mod that makes a 1x1 size single lane balancer.
