Can you explain more about the setup?
1) Internal - MBA-2020
2) AirPlay - to mini 2018
3) Duet - to Android device?
4) Thunderbolt - to Dell P2715Q
5) DisplayLink? - to Dell U2412M
6) DisplayLink? - to Dell U2412M
I've never tried DisplayLink so I don't know if they appear as a display connected to the GPU of a M1 Mac.

Duet to iPad and DisjplayLink is as you have above. DL using a five year old and ten year old DVI to USB devices Which work phenomenally well.
I was guessing how you had them connected. I said Android because I couldn't find an iPad with a resolution of 1432x1074. Probably Duet just uses a scaled mode on the iPad.
People have shown 6 display setups on the original M1 Macs before (I think there's a thread on MacRumors that mentions it and a YouTube video). In that case, a setup with 7 displays would be interesting.
It was an interesting exercise for me. Duet is pretty ropey and getting it to work with the AirPlay thing was an exercise in patience. But DisplayLink seems to get better as the years pass. I only have 2k DL adapters as that's the max I would want to drive so they work fantastically now in MacOS.
