Gotcha.


If you are with just a full hooded broadcast sprayer, as long as you can keep your sections in numbers divisible by the same quantity of nozzles per flow column.

(e.g. if it was a 60-nozzle sprayer, and wanted 5 sections ,make sure they'd be in sections of 12 nozzles each, so you could have either 1 column per 2 nozzles (so each section would have 6 columns), or 1 column per 3 nozzles (so, you'd have each section with 4 columns))

That way, you'd have equal quantities of flow and the ball color and selection is way more straight forward and consistent.

If you were talking 4 sections on 74" width and a middle with 222", that'd work for columns.
So, if you had 5 nozzles on your 74" width sections (e.g. ~15" spacing), I'd reckon you might want 1:1 column ratio. If your nozzles were on like 18" centers, then you could have 1:2 ratio or 1:1 ratio with either 2 columns for 4 columns per 74" section. Then on your middle section it'd be like 6 or 12 columns to monitor that larger middle section.

So, what nozzle spacing are you playing with under the sprayer hood? Do you know that yet? (maybe I missed it in the previous posts)
And what sort of boom height are you spraying at as well?

Anyways, hope that is starting to clear stuff up for you. If you confirm the nozzle spacing you want (or have) based on what you can do under the boom, and confirm boom height (this is more to make sure the nozzle angles you are using are going to get 100% overlap under the shroud/etc.) How the nozzle bodies are plumbed under the shroud would make a big difference as well, as it might be a pain to swap stuff out if they are already in an 'OK' configuration.
