How to handle different sized panels, multiple orientations, single inverter

Questions
#1

I recently added onto my system and upgraded the inverter. Original system had a 6kW SolarEdge inverter, 11 south facing 330W panels and 8 west facing 330W panels. New inverter is 7.6kW and I added 6 more south facing 420W panels and 4 west facing 420W panels.

Only 2 arrays are possible in PVOutput. Parent/Child won’t work as far as I can tell because there is only one inverter.

Do I basically just have to average it out and say there are 17 south facing with some average power and 12 west facing with some average power? Or is there a better way to handle this?

This would be the most reasonable option for now, until the extra orientation is added.
