How many products in a base?

In manufacturing instructions, a base has how many ounces ore tons of each product should be added. It will be more convenient to know how many procurement departments and production sectors a factory should have.

Well, since they added the wildcard layouts, I think they are much more close to ideal than the typical regular layouts were. As a good starting point, I would just use one of the three depending soley on how many inputs you need to make your product.

Edit:

There are limitations, as these wildcards would have to be modified if you don't need that many products yet, or if you want to output a variety of products. Still, the point is these are stable and rather efficient layouts. I have yet to figure any clear benefit from doing more complex supply calculations -- all you need is one input per component.

Thank you for your reply.
I have another question, usually, raw materials and farm products are too abundant for the production sector, a 2-5-2 layout may reduce the efficency of purchasing departments, while capacity of the sales departments is lack. In the old version of Cap2, I usually use a 1-5-3 layout to deal with production of bed, silver necklace and so on. I wanna know whether the input-output relation is changed.
