Comment:

 For future reference, this kind of question should preferably be asked on
 tahoe-dev rather than as a ticket, but I'll answer anyway:

 * shares are normally evenly distributed over all servers that are
 accepting new shares. #872 and #467 would allow more flexibility. #467 is
 probably closer to what you are asking for; please feel free to talk about
 your requirements on that ticket.

 * the default encoding parameters are not minimums; you can even set K = H
 = N = 1. To recover your data for a particular file, K shares must be
 available for that file. (This doesn't in general require K servers,
 although it will if each server has one share.)
