Hey! I completely understand what your talking about, I had to do the same thing for my preliminary essay for English. Personally, I found it hard to balance out the texts evenly but in the end I stuck to a specific structure based on my themes. Here is how I planned it before I wrote:

Para 1: Insert theme
-  I made sure to select two texts that best demonstrated the theme I was writing about in this paragraph and decided to give 3-4 quotes per text. However, the number would vary depending on the length of my analysis per quote.
- Basically in this paragraph you would have your core text and one related that fitted the theme the most, than the next paragraph would have the core and the other related that you haven't used yet and so on..

Note: Personally, I wouldn't recommend comparing (writing about) the 2 related in one paragraph but rather in each paragraph mention your core and then the related text of your choice that best suits the paragraph's themes.

Hope this was somewhat helpful, I'll get to reading your essay and making notes on it shortly. Have a lovely day
