Other forces such as a clutch acting between the same two axis as the planetary gears most certainly can effect the split.
In the extreme case, consider if we weld the planetaries to the sun and ring gear. We have in no way changed the number of teeth or diameter of any of the gears, but I guarantee the split is 50/50.
The clutch is just a variable weld.
