SRT Basal vs. MRT load differences

Nod and Bens SRT research project has some good info and data on loads seen at different points in a basal anchor system

One of my subby climbers only uses SRT and prefers to isolate a branch from the ground where possible, rarely using a basal anchor unless the crown is too bordelique' to isolate a suitable branch or the unions are too tight.

He then changes his anchor once aloft.

At Merrist Wood, for basal anchors, I was shown to install the rope so it's weight was carried on several branches not just one.

How does that work out for the loading equation?

Much as using multiple redirect pulleys for routing your rigging rope for a dismantle I imagine?
