Basically, the number of T-pieces is one less than the number of cilinders.
So with the same X and Y:
X = Y - 1.
That is, for the old ones that had only one tube going to them. For the new
cilinders obviously you need twice as many: X = 2 x (Y - 1), which is the
same as 2Y - 2 but easier.
In a supply line each T-piece will give you an extra branch, so to speak.

Anyway, this is just a former maths teacher waking up at the sight of
something like a formula in these postings. Sorry.....

I'm onto this rather big pneumatics project where I have several
cylinders per switch and I found that if the numbers of cylinders used
is 'Y' and the number of T-crosses is 'X' then this is true (if you
use but one switch to control the whole thing):

Y2 - 2 = X
