The "VSD buffer consumption control" is now included and will be available in the upcoming JMRI 5.11.3 Test Release.

Thank you for sharing the layout details!
Hopefully you will find a VSD configuration that enriches your JMRI operations session.
When you add VSDecoders in the VSD Manager window, keep the JMRI System Console open to see if everything has been successful. I am working on a VSD buffer consumption control. But this will take some time.

I have a series of locomotives with light and motion decoders. I must have only 5 or 6 sound locomotives.
What happens is that my layout is frequented by some friends on the weekends, 2 or 3 friends join me to focus on layout operations.
I have 2 main lines without any buildings (destinations and origins). All destinations and origins are on secondary lines, sometimes terminals or duplicates (detours) of the main lines.
Our fun is that each one manages 1 or 2 locomotives and performs the JMRI operations challenges. So, while we travel along the main lines, other trains wait on terminal lines or secondary lines waiting for the occupancy detection system to release the traffic lights and allow the trains to travel on the main lines.
With this, we have under the control of 6 to 8 locomotives circulating on the layout, each one receiving the appropriate traffic clearances. These are the 6 to 8 locomotives that I put on the roster, in the VSD group, and that I previously associated with a sound model. When I create a VSD file, I have several sound models to associate with a locomotive. At the moment, I have 17 sound models in a single VSD.
I will include a representation of my layout here in the post. This layout is 11.5 x 7.5 meters, so it is possible to have more traffic.
The red lines in the layout are lines that are currently occupied. I have implemented occupancy identification coils via Arduino and CMRI (there are 8 CMRI nodes). The Arduinos control traffic lights in the Layout. The lines are segmented into sectors and each line derived from the main ones has an individual occupancy sensor.
In the CCO the green dots are unoccupied lines and the red dots are occupied lines.
"The toy" is interesting!
I will also include an image of my roster.
