No, that isn't possible with Mnesia, not as you wish/state above.

If you have a table 'tab' split into fragments 'tab', 'tab_frag2', and
'tab_frag3', you can add more fragments: 'tab_frag4', 'tab_frag5', etc.
You can choose to put only 1 fragment on node A, 4 fragments on node B,
and 4 fragments on node C.  Assuming that access to the table is evenly
distributed over all fragments, then node A should be getting only 1/9
of the load, and B & C will get 4/9 of the load.
