Use a base foundry design that is built to be expanded later into 3x3

You only have to remove a long inserter per furnace, and upgrade each to electric.
With the three lines of Ore in, you can get a fair level of ore input and keep a LOT of furnaces going at once.
Adding another middle line instead at the start is an option, the two middle lines would then begin as ore+coal, and turn into ore+ore.
Would mean each side got four lines of ore along it's two belts.
The short inserters should be upgraded to fast ones. And you could put a line of crates in before the output lines, like below...
c = Crate

If you have exceptional output, be fancy! Have an extra output line. :V
