Default divided power Compartmentalized Mind

If you have Compartmentalized Mind for Telekinesis and the power is shared instead of each Compartment getting the full power how much of a Limitation is that? For example 3 Compartments that can lift a total of 200 pounds not 200 pounds each.

Can each compartment lift a maximum of 67 pounds or can you divide it among them as you will (150, 50,0 or 100, 50, 50, etc.)?

Why not buy a lower TK and have the compartments combine abilities when they need to exceed that lower level?

"Shared Resources, -40%" (p. B51) is similar in concept, but I'm not sure if the value is justified in this case.

Divide anyway they want, 170 to lift the couch, 25 for the vacuum, 5 for the duster or 67 each to swing weapons.

That would have too much granularity I think. You lose actions for large lifts.
