Three of the yellow belts are necessary (hint one is hiding as a underground).

EDIT: Updated example picture, this one has all outputs running at same time.

Thanks for the comments, I feel all balancer examples should have a different item on each input belt so output can be easily seen.

Not balanced. The left belt is 2 solid fuel:1 copper:1 iron, the middle and right are 1 solid fuel:2 copper:1 iron. I'm having trouble figuring out why, though - the theory all seems sound.

it looks like the last splitters are pulling 50/50 when they should theoretically be 33/66.

I wonder if it could be fixed by having the splitter prioritize the red input.

Indeed it does look like they're pulling 50/50, but how they're getting 20 items/second out of a yellow belt is beyond me - there doesn't appear to be any reason it should be throughput limited.

Here's a three belt balancer for red belts but it needs blue splinters.

Note the output depends on input conditions, here are two examples.
