Mixing extruder with PrusaSlicer?

How do I use mixing extruders in PrusaSlicer?

I've been printing on a 2x switching extruder for a while now, and really enjoying it.  

I got a Zonestar M4V6 4in1out mixing hotend for Christmas, and I'm finishing up it's new machine.  I replaced mainboard w/ BTT Octopus, replaced hotend with M4V6, and added 4 extruders to drive it.  Marlin (2.1.2.1) is all configured with 16 virtual tools (#define MIXING_VIRTUAL_TOOLS 16).  I don't see how to do the mixed coloring in PrusaSlicer.  Do I add 16 more extruders (20 total)?  How do I assign them to their virtual tools?

These machines are getting more popular, just a bit expensive unless you go my route and upgrade a machine.  I can't be the only one needing to do this.  I'm just not finding information about it.   The few previous threads I found didn't have any good answers.

Solved.  For anyone else who finds this, you do configure all of your base and mix colors as virtual tools.
