Hero Pakistani-American Doctor, invented a splitter to support 7 patients with 1 Ventilator

. . .
you can't. If say 5 patients of similar weight with each requiring 500ml of tidal volume, you will set the volume delivered to 2500ml. You could only hope that volume reaching to each patient is suitable and hope that all the patients have same requirement. The OP mentions 7 patients, i don't even think there is any ventilator which could deliver so much in cumulative volume or pressure. very dangerous and not applicable in real life.
You are right...and I don't know how thw different respiratoey rate, FiO2 or PEEP for different patient can be maintained.
P.S.-Though the effort is great and may save the life of a patient.
