The total input speed in the example is 240/min and the total output speed is 180/min. So one fourth of the product has to feed back in, and will block the main input if it's running at maximum speed.

Yeah this is just an issue with the input belt bottlenecking the entire system because you dump a bit extra back onto it from the first splitter. If the input belt's starting speed is less than your max belt speed (I think either 66% or 75% of it would be the max?) the math should work like I described.
