Um, couldn't you just mentally split the 24 lanes into 2 groups of 12, alternate which 'group' is being drawn from and then run a 12-belt balancer? As long as your draw on any given side doesn't exceed your 12-lane capacity (28.8k plates per second, IIRC), you should be fine?

The most common large balancers are powers of 2 (8, 16, 32, etc), since they're the easiest created with the 2-way splitters this game provides.

Unless you're actually sending all 24 lanes to the same location, and think you'll run into imbalances as the system executes, I'd suggest just using multiple 8-8 balancers. Failing that, use a 32-32 balancer (easily googled), and reroute 8 of the outputs back into the input side again.
