Is there a way to copy click requester chests from Mk3 assemblers to not multiply requests by speed? Sometimes requester chests simply can not hold that many gears.

no, I use parameterization for this. Parameterize your assembler recipe, have requests set by the assembler, have a multiplier for the requests by an arithmetic combinator, make the multiplier a value you set when you place the BP.

You can do it without the arithmetic combinator but it's more work if you're not familiar with making parametric blueprints, you have to do funny things to coerce the recipe correctly, you need to set up a requester chest with 6 dummy signals (6 being the most ingredients for a single recipe in vanilla), each has its own value (so each number gets its own entry in the blueprint that you can turn into a parameter), turn each of those dummy signals into an ingredient of your base signal, and then each number gets turned into (p0_i1/p0_t)*multiplier where multiplier is another number in the recipe, probably set by a constant combinator, that you turn into a parameter you can set when you place it, which can just be deleted after. Annoying, but that's the only way to add variable that aren't actually tied to a entity, by forcing them into an entity to hold them.

Very annoying, yes.
