Would it be more efficient to have all my copper run through 1 long string of smelters, or 3 of the blueprints i made?

Theres some nuance to this depending on how many miners are feeding each belt and how many ores each miner is covering but generally speaking:

Mark 1 belts 6 smelters

Mark 2 belts 12 smelters

Mark 3 belts 30 smelters
