Composition
I can see several possibilities (distribution, breakdown, division, etc) but I think this works best.

No need to dodge the literal term of seats, if on a Company Board or Committee.
Carve-up - if an active process and whilst/ though idiomatic - might, depending on the target-readership and context, be the right e.g. journalistic register, as it used to be for the FT spin-off mag I once worked for.

: "Allocation" yes, but you cannot possibly use "carve up" and daft suggestions like that don't help non-native EN speakers

The asker seems to be native English, plus the carve-up is in inverted commas, is for info. and was a translation technique I learned as a financial journalist.

Merci vielmals! I still can't work out what the composition is of, but - at school on our old patch of Epsom and Ewell - I used to write many of them.

: "allocation", but not "composition", which I wrote in Paris and then made people write in my (not so old) patch of Dorking & Horsham.

Merci and thanks for your intriguing allusion to Surrey/ Sussex county (school) lines that I grew up - or down - on.
