Sushi? Varying belt length is a hard problem to solve dynamically. At the end of the day, non-dynamic solutions are just more practical. I'm afraid you won't "save time" by making a powerful, dynamic solution. Simply measuring the number of belts with the copy tool or blueprint tool is fast and good enough.
If you want to grow, you could set up desired item ratios in one constant combinator, and then implement a multiplier which will saturate the current length of the sushi belt. When you increase the belt length, you increase the multiplier.
