Best way to program/organise clusterrs?

I have a string of LEDS of the kind shown in the image below (typically sold as outdoor LEDs WS8211 5V). To get the approximate effect of a smaller number of higher brighter sources, I want to mount them in groups clustered together, let’s say 100 LEDs in 25 groups of 4 each or 20 groups of 5 each. At any give time, all the lights in each cluster should have the same RGB values, so I get the approximate effect of 25 brighter LEDs rather than 100 lower power ones. Is there a simple way to configure WLED to have that sort of arrangement with 25 virtual LEDs and just use effects out of the box?

The other option is to cut the 100 into four physical segments and send the same control signal to each, I suppose, but I’d rather do the clustering in software if I can.

I believe you can easily do this using the Grouping configuration under the Segment 0 (assuming you have the default settings)…
Just set the Grouping to 4 and Apply
Then your string of 100 pixels will act as 25 groups of 4…

Ah, right. Segments are more flexible than I thought.

Many thanks.
