I remade my compact tiny factory for green science packs which i made almost 2 years ago, i know that it could have been a bit more compact but i didn't want it to become a mess, and it might be able to keep 3 assembling machines for green science packs running although i haven't tested that.

Try laying down ten assemblers for the green packs and see how it goes. As long as you keep the iron and copper incoming, I have a feeling things will be okay

You only need two copper wire assemblies for three green circuits.
When you take the iron for green circuits and gear wheels from the "inner2 iron line (that one carrying the grear wheels) you can remove the outer iron line.

For 3 green AND 3 red assemblers I use
belts (input):
iron plates
copper plates
assembler:
1 iron gear
1 copper cable
1 green circuit
1 belt
1 inserter
Edit: for reference, this is the green/red I am currently using. Has a single copper+iron belt as input and a green/red belt as output:
science

Try to build it
Edit: Of course I mean: Try to build it compact
I tried it myself now and also did some experimenting.
Spoiler
I tried to figure out how many research centers max. could be fired with 3 red and 3 green assemblers, if the tech needs 1 of both and there is no lab speeding tech researched yet. Of course they have to run without a break. And the number is 11 research centers, very seldom sometimes a 12th center gets a green pack.
Depends on what you want and what you are doing, but for a normal playthrough this is enough.
And concerning "compact". Maybe the cable assembly could be moved below the circuit assembly^^. But I guess this design is quiet easy for a quickstart.
