Responsa for Zevachim 160:3
הכא במאי עסקינן כגון דאיכא רובא עליונים וקא יהיב למעלה שיעור תחתונים ועוד
Come and hear: If he sprinkled it above without asking, both agree that he must re-sprinkle below, and both [sprinklings] are credited to him! - Here too the excess was upper [blood], and he sprinkles above the quantity of the lower blood plus a little more. Yet surely he teaches: Both [sprinklings] are credited to him? - Does he then teach, 'Both agree [in this]'? Surely he teaches, 'Both are credited to him', this final clause thus agreeing with the Rabbis [only], who maintain that there is even distribution.
Teshuvot Maharam
Q. Dough of a Gentile [which is exempt from the law of Hallah] was mixed with a piece of dough belonging to a Jew which by itself, was sufficient to become subject to the law of Hallah. How can the Jew take Hallah for, or from, the mixture?
A. In order to make sure that he takes Hallah from dough that is subject to that law, the Jew must take as Hallah a piece that is larger than the Gentile's dough.
SOURCES: Cr. 40; Pr. 423; P. 225; cf. Am I, 59.
