There's 3 major mechanic possibilities.

A: There's an alotted percentage for limited or not where it "rolls" to see if limited or not in between determining rarity and what specific servant it is. This is the only arrangement I can think of where 8 limiteds wouldn't yield a higher chance than 1.

B: There is an alotted percentage for the "rate up" part of the roll. However, all summonable servants are also parts of the chance to roll each servant normally. In this case, 8 limiteds would yield a higher chance than 1.

C: There isn't an alotted rate up percentage but rather it rolls a number for all servants possible but among that pool, there are multiples of said rate up servants. So say 1 of each normal servant and 2 of each rate up servant in said pool. Having more limiteds once again results in a higher chance.

If you can think of other possibilities, be my guest but I think the chance of it being the first seems highly unlikely. The issue is that it would lead to having a set slice of pie that is split any particular number of ways that varies. However, with so many limited servants, you'd then become liable to get to the point that you'd end up with an outright lower chance to get them than any other given servant which is against what rate ups are.

I'm also too picky to roll on the 11th but it seems highly unlikely to me that it'd be the first case as it seems very cumbersome and prone to making rate ups vary too much in effectiveness which is plain weird. The latter 2 cases seem much more sensible and likely and both lead to higher chances of limited gold with higher limited numbers.
