Yes. The design is one splitter, and a splitter moves its full rate between whichever of its two inputs and two outputs are in use, so there is no internal bottleneck.
Separate yellow, red and blue versions exist, one per splitter tier. The tier of the splitter decides how much it can carry, so take the version that matches your belts; the blue one is shown first and the other two are listed below.
Separate yellow, red and blue versions are provided; the splitter tier sets the throughput.
The yellow and red versions are the same 2 x 3 shape built with basic and fast parts. Use the one whose splitter matches your belts; a lower-tier splitter caps the flow at its own speed.
