Assuming the cargo ships are group 99

B 99 10           ; leaving 20 ships
L 99 COL          ; load them evenly with COL
S 99 Planet_A 10  ; send 10 to A
S 99 Planet_B     ; and the rest to B

Will send exactly 10 COL to each planet.

L 99 COL 9        ; load 9 ships with COL
S MAX Planet_A    ; and send them to A
L 99 COL 9        ; load 9 ships with COL
S MAX Planet_B    ; and send them to B

Will send 9.9 COL to each planet.

There's probably other ways, too.

Yes, but the above methods leave you with 10 ships to other things
with.

As far as I know, you can't.
