its an 8u unit, just checked with a ruler.

Have you considered a 1u mixer, there's a number 
of options available.
The Behringer Ultralink pro is v. flexible, each channel
is either a splitter or a mixer.
Also MAM make some interesting stuff.
They're all very cheap, so you could even combine a 
couple of units, using one to split the signal where you wanted it,
and one to mix.
This would give you a setup of about 8u all together,
quite portable.

Working out all your routing options is going to take ages though:-)
(especially if you want stereo, which I assume you do
with 2 amps)

I remember talk on this list from David Torn, who 
had a 1u mixer (Rane) modified so that the pan pots 
became an AUX send. 
  

Its a problem, that the only mixers with 
a decent number of sends have about 20 channels or
more.

wish i could point you to an easy answer, maybe someone 
else can
