Based on personal experience, and the fact that it is a programming impossibility, I think this is incorrect.

Mining in large groups is wasteful. IMHO. There should never be more than 4 Exhumers in one belt because there are few systems that have more than four types of ore. Put 12 Exhumers in one belt and they are forced to 'mine over' each other.
BTW, clearing a belt, or even a certain type of ore, is a bad thing if you mine every day. Clear a belt of an ore type, and you go into the three day cycle. That belt won't be worth mining for 3 days.
Optimal? Mine one belt less than you have Orcas. The odd Orca keeps the other ones empty. Same number of mining ships as ore types per belt.

not to mention 12 hulks in a belt will strip a belt very quickly then you have to warp 12 ships to the next belt, etc, where as if you spread them out they all warp once and that's it.
Signs of intelligence? Maybe I under-estimated you. Sorry.

\But, should you need multiple accounts to be efficient? I admit, in my mining days I had 4 accounts. Nice efficient fleet, but I really wanted more miners. I have three Orcas. I could handle two belts at a time.
If I could just find some miners that obeyed the corp rules.
