Actually, a 1x1-tile wide splitter that can be connected side by side with itself would serve the same purpose, but you would only need to craft one item :)

Instead of making new entities I rather would make it an set-up option in the vanilla splitter how much you want on which belt. And I not see why prime-numbers should be a problem here.

I'm torn on this.

A modular splitter unit which let you set up a line of splitter bits and give each outputter an equal share would be simple, but limiting because it would cause an excessive amount of extra belts.

A "Smart Splitter" would be an amazing boon to minimizing belt usage, it would allow belts to be much more generalized, with A smart splitter, eg, sending 100% of iron ore left, 100% of copper ore right, and splitting up coal, with a second splitter for making two lanes, one ore and one coal. In two tiles it would fit the niche of what, a dozen smart inserters?

The problem with the smart splitter is that it would be expensive in game balance terms.

splitting prime fractions off is possible without a mod, gets a bit expansive though...
