  Although I think themightygugi was implying they wanted a single block tunnel where opposite edges are connected.

  How we can access to these variants in game

  It woud be nice to have an advanced splitter that only take one block, so you can go in any direction.
  One input and three outputs.

  What about a splitter that which instead of having the input in the back it could have the input by one of the sides?

  I'd be happy with a splitter that still only has two outputs but only takes up one tile (a la Satisfactory)

  A splitter that can accept Two inputs and still have two outputs would be a blessing. It would make it much more compact to build instead of having to tunnel all the time to merge resource belts.

  What would 2-in-2-out do?

  2-in-2-out would allow for load balancing. If one input belt is at 120u/m and the other at 60u/m, it would balance it to two belts of 90u/m. There's no reason split/merge couldn't be rolled into a single machine that handles 1-to-3, 2-to-2 (load balancing), and 3-to-1. You could add filters and priorities too, even if it needs to be an advanced splitter.

  I think it makes sense for splitters to be a bit inconvenient so building with them becomes challenging, but a "big splitter" of sorts is also something I enjoy (I was thinking like a 1x5 machine with 1 input on the short side and 4 output on the long one or something like that so that it stays at least a little bit inconvenient)

  T-splits would be absolutely amazing. Especdially if you can choose input side (from the "leg" or from a side). As a fan of hyper-compact builds, I lost count of how often I couldn't fit my design in a perfect profile because of lack of a single free tile to put those turn-around connecting belts.
  
  I'm hammering this "vote" btn with both hands.
  
  Also, Factorio-like 2-input 2-output splitters are worth consideration. They are a very powerful tool on its own, they also boost compactness, and what's especially important – it will allow to apply all of the Factorio's knowledgebase about belt balancers to this game. Might attract some additional audience)
