You mean you want to first batch four units and then send them to the machine, afterwards two and then three, then repeat from the start? Or would the batches be formed by some condition?

Every week, I will create 8 units at the source. Out of these, 2 units will be assigned to the 2-unit per cycle flow, 3 units to the 3-unit per cycle flow, and the remaining units will go to the 4-unit per cycle flow. This process will continue on a weekly basis.

Next week, I'll have another 8 units, and their availability will be checked for the 2-unit, 3-unit, and 4-unit per cycle flows. Depending on the available spots, units will be assigned to the respective flows.

How does the capacity of 15 units/resource factor into this if only a total of 9 tokens can be assigned to the flows?

You could push "spaces" in the cycles onto a list. Each list must then pull a space before it can continue. The pulled value determines where to send the token at the same time.
