please explain about what is the problem / what is not clear from the documentation [1], from the examples [2] and from other questions related to this topic [3]

> I want to simulate a admixture with 70 percent of particles smaller than 10mm and 30 percent bigger than 10mm to 50mm.

apart from PSD, you can just use rRelFuzz [1]

In general, creating makeCloud and two PSDs (either using true PSD or rRelFuzz), you use **one** instance of SpherePack and two calls of makeCloud:
###
sp = SpherePack()
sp.makeCloud(...) # particles bigger than 10mm to 50mm (I would start from the bigger)
sp.makeCloud(...) # particles smaller than 10mm. Note, the same "sp"
###

Cheers
