3 Units closest to the cursor should be prefered to minimize collisions. 3 Units closest to the cursor should be prefered to minimize collisions.
4 Unit ratios should be preserved as much as possible. (100 bandits and 20 thugs would bud off into 50 and 10) 4 Unit ratios should be preserved as much as possible. (100 bandits and 20 thugs would bud off into 50 and 10)
5 The key could be pressed multiple times to reduce the selection further, or, Alt and Ctrl keys could be used to work in 3/4th and 1/5th increments instead of 1/2. 5 The key could be pressed multiple times to reduce the selection further, or, Alt and Ctrl keys could be used to work in 3/4th and 1/5th increments instead of 1/2.

7 In practice, this would allow for rapidly splitting forces into chunks, but further, would allow you to select a desired number of units when you have many clumped into a small area. (Let's say there's 20 wasps stacked somewhere and you want to select 5 of them, you'd just press the hotkey twice and give a command) 7 In practice, this would allow for rapidly splitting forces into chunks, but further, would allow you to select a desired number of units when you have many clumped into a small area.

12 I hope I explained it well, the goal is to allow for some finesse with unit selection quantities at all zoom levels.
