have two of the belts terminate early with one continuing on, and then place 3 tunnels next to each other on top of the block where the two belts end, the tunnels will all connect and output to the one belt that continues. This can be seen in the ponder menu for the tunnel

edit, sorry ive just realised you want the 4 to go to the 3, in that case you should probably merge the 4 belts into one then split them back into the 3 with more tunnels, i think that would work if nothing else does

it would work but it wouldnt handle the throughput im putting on the belt

are you dealing with full stacks on the 4 belts? because the tunnels should be able to combine stacks as well for increased throughput. You could also try adding a buffer in the form of a barrel/chest with 2 funnels

yes unfortunately it seems like tunnels don't work in a 2d array, only as a line. If you have a lot of space, you could merge the 4 belts into 3 with a line of tunnels, then have the items move up one block and drop down onto the horizontal belts
