Hello,

Am I right considering that maiximum configuration for UEXTx5 (all 5 slots are occupied) is as follows:

Theoreticaly, the configuration is:

It's becasue UART and SPI (without multiple CS signals) are point-to-point buses, but the I2C is master-slave adressable bus with the star geometry. So you can theoreticaly daisy-chain at least another UEXTx5 for I2C, but you will probably to have disconnect (or sever) the UART and SPI lines. For longer I2C lines, you will also need to check the signals on an osciloscope and insert buffers/drivers if needed.
