You have described a "throughput unlimited" balancer, which is a subset of balancers. Most people are happy with balancers with some minimum worst-case throughput, often 50% is acceptable.

Also, in most cases, two non-unlimited balancers can be chained together to make a throughput-unlimited balancer, and in all cases some number can.

This might be a bit off topic, but I can't find any better place to post this: Is there anyway I can find someone to make a 10 to 24 balancer, or can anyone here make one?

Just take 12 belt balancer and add a splitter to its outputs
However 12 belts are not typical for balancing.

I created a vanilla 0.15 blueprint book string for the compendium: https://pastebin.com/24NZkPsa
can you post it again? Pastebin deletes pages after a year

Maybe you'll find that useful: https://factoriobin.com/post/balancers
