"(2) In counties in which the allotment is not sufficient to pro- vide adequate and representative allotments to other farms in the county as a result of the allotments required, by section 344 (d) (1) (A) arnd (B), an additional acreage shall be allotted to such farms to make the allotment to each of such farms as nearly equal to the allotment which would have been made to such farms in the absence of the provisions of (A) and (B) of subsection 344 (d) (1) as the remainder of the 4 per centum will permit.
