I'm not entirely sure how to explain what I'm attempting to create but here goes:
For the factory my buddy and I are building, we need a huge number of potential signals that can be differentiated from one another. A computer console can have 6 different outputs, one for each side. So if each of these is a bundled cable that means 96 possible outputs. But we need more. So my question is, with a white bundled cable coming out of a computer, that splits into different colors of BUNDLED cable that then split off into different colors of cable, can I differentiate all of these outputs?

This is a basic example of what I want to accomplish. The white bundle splits into red and green bundle. Each of these 2 bundles splits into red and green cable. Can I separate the green/green signal from the red/green signal?
Edit: So I can demonstrate that I can code anything at all.
My initial attempt was to combine colors in alternating order, so i would do:
The problem is, this turns on all 4 of the outputs because they're all running out of the initial white bundle coming out of the back of the computer.

local red = colors.red
greenRed = colors.combine(colors.green, red)
redGreen = colors.combine(red, colors.green)
rs.setBundledOutput("back", greenRed)
