I know there’s the rule of three. But Eldar support cannons can be taken in a unit of 1-3 cannons. When the battle round starts they are counted as individual cannons. So can you take 3x3 cannons? Or would that violate the rules. Because technically they aren’t considered separate units until the game begins.

The rule of three applies to Dataslates.

So you can have 3 Dataslates.

If you take 1 or 2 or 3 individual cannons on each Dataslate, that is fine. (If this is possible, I am not familiar with the specific rule in question).

I thought they didn't split anymore...

They don't, but I wouldn't be surprised to see an errata on that. They basically copy-pasta'ed the Artillery rule from the MekGunz and if you speed read it, its easy for your mind to put splits there. Firstrike turrets don't get to split either though, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it either way.

Leman Russes can be bought in units of 1-3 in your list, and become separate units in game. The “Rule of Three” only applies to list building. If your unit has similar Datasheet option for unit size, you’ve got it right.
