Welcome! That is a good description of what you are wanting. Hopefully we can help get you something satisfactory.
Your math is right - the numbers of games will just not work out exactly the same that way. So the first question for you is, are you okay if the number of games against teams in a division are not exactly the same? For example, would it be okay if teams in a 9-team division did not play exactly 11 games against each other, like maybe play some 10 games, some 11, some 12?
That will be pretty much necessary to get a solution. And the differences should only need to be small.
The numbers of games then could be worked out to something even between both types of divisions. But that still leaves making the series work out too. The way you were planning would have the teams in the 8-team divisions playing 47 series and the teams in the 9-team divisions playing 49 series. We want to get those numbers to match also.
I will think on this more and try to come up with some ideas of how to get it to work.
