The delivery rate is a function of the hole area X the square root of the pressure differential.



I think you misunderstand what's being said here - although (my bad) I did leave out the word "combined" thinking people would be smart enough to assume that!:

" the "combined" area of the holes is equal to or smaller than the feed line they will all squirt the same amount (or pretty damn close to it)."
