By default configuration, redstone, diamond, gold, lapis, etc. all spawn in large veins. There should be one vein in every 3x3 of chunks. The small ores are there for when you can't find a vein.

Here is greg explaining those config values you were asking about:

Quoted from "BBoldt" Hey Greg, I'm trying to tweak oregen using your worldgeneration.cfg file and would like some clarification on exactly what some values do.

I understand most of them I think, it's just the ones with the "??" that I need more information about:

I:Density_0=0 - ?? I:MaxHeight_0=0 - Maximum height cap I:MinHeight_0=0 - Minimum height cap B:Nether_false=false - Spawns in nether I:OrePrimaryLayer_-1=-1 - Main ore to be used in vein I:OreSecondaryLayer_-1=-1 - Secondary ore to be used in vein I:OreSporadiclyInbetween_-1=-1 - Distributed randomly in the vein I:OreSporaticlyAround_-1=-1 - Distributed randomly around the vein B:Overworld_false=false - Spawns in overworld I:RandomWeight_0=0 - ?? I:Size_0=0 - number of ores in each vein B:TheEnd_false=false - Spawns in the end

Please correct me on any I got wrong there.

Size is increasing the Size of the Vein from (16+2a)x(16+2a) where "a" is the Size (minus a Random in every direction)

Random Weight is the Probability of the Ore Spawning in comparision to all other Ores. As you may know, only one single Vein can spawn in a 48x48.

Density is literally the density of Ores inside the large Vein. The larger the density the more Ores it will generate in the small Space it has.

The -1s for the IDs are the Material IDs for the Ores, which can be found either in the API or by enabling Debug and looking at the GregTech.log File afterwards.

Quoted from "BBoldt" Would it be possible to emulate the vanilla-style ore clusters using your settings?

Nope. I might change Worldgen sometime soon to contain Gravel/Dirt/Sand/Salt Ores, that will probably have an inprovement on the Configs as Side Effect.
