Help With Dosing capsules and capping for supplement blend

Welcome Wagon
I have done a ton of searching and have the tapped density of red yeast rice, niacin and coq10 and plan on capping my own versus taking several pills a day at a higher price.

I am just still not sure how to get the dosage I want per cap, I want 2000mg red yeast rice, 500mg niacin and 500mg coq10. I was wanting to get this in a serving of 2 "00" caps.

So do i weigh out 10 caps, then weigh a properly dosed capsule, then fill remaining space with "filler" and re-weigh to get the amount of filler to add per 10 caps, then weigh 5 servings
worth including the filler (difference between compound and total with filler), then make 10 pills at a time (or whatever the amount would be). I understand that I should allow for an
extra 10th for what is lost during the process. I will also regrind and fully blend.

Could be tight, but tamped do you think it would work or do i need to plan on 3 "00" caps per serving, the bigger ones are a little much.
