The only limitation I find with the 10string E9 is its range from the low B string to the high G# since it kinda only allows for two of the 3 open voiced triads inversions at the same fret. (Thats why ...

10th string B-A & 6th string G#-A will also work nicely next to the C pedal.

Pedal to the left of the A pedal could do both string 6 & 3 G# down to G
Another option would be 6th string G#-A# and maybe also 5th string B-C#

For the pedal to the right of C pedal I would c ...

I got several ideas but first I would like to know what kind of music you want to play on the instrument as it will favor certain changes instead of others.

The smaller round plastic in fron of the nylon tuners are just a spacer/collar with no threads that should easily slide on/off if the nylon tuners is backed out / removed.

I have often wondered why this would not be a standard on E9. Would it be asking too much from one pull to also lower string 9 to C# along with 2,4 and 8?

There is a ton of "C6" stuff that can be found on an ExtendedE9 tuning.

It may be possible to reverse the split tuning to become a stacked resulting tuning altho I am not sure how stable it would work tuningwise.

Ooops, my bad. Should have seen that the picture was posted by another.

The method of checking how much the pullrod need to move should still work tho.

My S12extE9 7+7 has 9th string D-D# on LKV. It is possible to also combine it with 8th string E-F# altho that would require a slightly longer movement of the LKV.

Drop your 9th string down to C#(use as root) w hopefully a lever on the right knee.

From what I can see on those pictures, the guitar is only missing two pullrods. It should be possible to move pulls to different knee levers if wanted without too much trouble.

If you press both A+B pedals and keep em pressed, your heel should not need to lift more than maybe 1,5" to fully engage the vertical knee lever. If you need to lift your heel more then your vert ...

The further away(hole location) the pull rod is from the return spring, the more likely it is to get issues with the raise finger moving at the end of the pull(lowering down to C#).
