Is the 4 to 9 balancer throughput unlimited?
No. It is balanced: it draws evenly from every input and gives every output an equal share. It is not throughput unlimited, so when only some inputs are fed or some outputs are blocked, an internal bottleneck can keep the total below what the remaining belts could carry. That is fine where all belts run full; where they often do not, check the other layouts and nearby configurations for one marked throughput unlimited.
Belt tier note
Built with express (blue) belts, splitters and undergrounds. The collection lists this layout as working with red, blue and turbo undergrounds. For yellow belts it keeps a separate version, which appears with its own string under the other layouts below.
Compatible underground tiers listed by the source: red, blue, green (turbo). A yellow-belt alternate exists in the downgrades folder.

Is there a 4 to 10 balancer?
No. For four input belts the collection has 4 to 1 through 4 to 9 and 4 to 12, but no 4 to 10. This 4 to 9 is the closest; the 4 to 12 is throughput unlimited, so it still works if you leave two of its outputs unused.
