The data buss will only offer or hand off to the next stacked 
repeater if it can see it. If you disabled or removed the data 
buss the repeater would stand alone... however not only would 
you need validation but the controller will fart a warning of 
a missing rndl buss master unit.

Simply home the mobiles on that desired stand alone repeater, in 
this example call it repeater #4 in the stack. With the right type 
of LTR Controller you could busy out one of two slaved #4 LTR 
Controllers using the tx line of the other controller and some 
smart id code assignments. 

Been there... done that.
