You can also tell a splitter to send everything in one direction except if that direction can't accept more (output priority).
You usually can make a pretty solid system by combining those two.
It's not that it is completely impossible to make a system that sends a specific ratio in a direction without relying on many splitters but you end up needing a lot of circuit network logic, especially if you want to make sure that each lane can get the surplus in case the other lane gets stuck because not everything is getting consumed.
In the majority of cases sending half, a fourth or only the surplus in a direction is enough to have a factory that works well, if you really need a specific ratio like 3/5 to the right and 2/5 to the left for example, odds are you are going for something extremely complex that might be easier to solve in a different way that is much easier to handle.
For example, dedicated belts with the correct ratio of machines producing the item for each.
play with the values to suit your needs.
Overproduction in Factorio is the ideal, not the exception. :)
