one thing to look into... when setting up as separate keyboards, essentially (each on their own controller right), the modifiers will not transfer to the other boards. (i believe, please correct me if i'm wrong, might be only on certain OSs?). i'd set up a typical split board (TRRS) with usb hub then make your additional standalone modules. Try it with a couple keyboards plugged into your computer. Hopefully one of them with Fn layers to test that as well as normal modifiers (shift, alt, ctl, etc...)
