I sketched out the current yard design this morning to see how turnout hookup would work, and it looks like I can actually still get away with using only three DS52's with the current design where the ladder turnouts flip flop at the other end.
The first turnout at each end of the yard will get it's own output on a DS52, but the inner turnouts at each end of a individual yard track can be combined to a single output on a DS52 since both ends of the yard track could either be closed or thrown at the same time.
So yay, no fiddling with track work will be needed.
