Wagon inserters, power pole & wagon storage

- how many inserters are horizontal / vertical possible or ideal at one wagon?
- how (if) does the wagon spilt in compartments ?
- what is the ideal setup for loader/unloader / power pole to from a box for a wagon at the station?
- I have problems positioning a power pole reaching all 5/6 inserter/box combos when the bulk of loaders/boxes stand tight in a row

can anyone please help with screenshot for a decent station setup

See this thread: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=16464 for unloaders per wagon for the first four wagons.

Before substations, I always put six inserters in a row, with medium poles on both sides.

Remember that currently horizontal trains are longer than vertical (this will be fixed in .13)

Edit: Here is a screenshot of station unloading with 2 wagons and power substations: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=20031

Edit2: A screenshot from that same game of a copper outpost, with a copper loading station (balanced from 2 inputs to 2x6 outputs), a coal unloading station (for local smelting), and a "inspection station" so I can easily visit in my passenger train
