(in other words - do I need to use the Y button from 0, 1, or both MRCCs when I use an extended output port?)
The Remote 7 will only be attached to the MRCC that is on the single connector side of the splitter. In this configuration, the Remote 7 can only act as MIDI thru ports for MRCC Outputs 1-5. The Remote button on MRCC will be used to route to the other MRCC's outputs.
The purpose of the splitter modification is to disconnect the Remote 7 from the 2nd MRCC. The 6 pins that are being removed are 5 MIDI outputs and 5V DC. Otherwise, we'd be connecting 5V to 5V and MIDI outputs to MIDI outputs, which wouldn't break anything, but the Remote 7 wouldn't work.
Theoretically, you could put a splitter on both sides so both MRCC's could have Remote 7s.
