I have been trying to figure out how to schedule team taught classes that are in a block taught with other teachers.
For example:
Teaching block contains 5 subjects taught by 7 teachers over 8 sessions for the week
4 of the subjects are taught by 5 teachers who each carry all 8 sessions
The last subject is team taught by two teachers who split the 8 sessions (50/50 - 4/4).
There are other instances of this in our timetable where the split for the 8 sessions of the team taught classes will be by 3 teachers (50/25/25 - 4/2/2).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Very easy: Just add 2 teachers into the same activity.

Also easy: Just add the needed teachers into the activities. You maybe need to use "modify subactivities".

This is of course possible. But a bit more complicated. It is very highly needed to understand the meaning of "years, groups, ans subgroups" correct. (Be carefull: Many guys missunadstand this at the beginning!) So please read this:

Ask more detailed if you still don't understand after reading that.
Thanks for the ideas but what you suggested did not work as the other teachers in the block were affected.
I did manage to figure out a way to get the team taught classes with a split load into the teaching block.
Teachers 1-5 and 6 (split load) - 4 sessions
Teachers 1-5 and 7 (split load) - 4 sessions
Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to restrict the entire teaching block to four days with 2 sessions each day. Thankfully, it is only one class that will meet twice for one day so we will probably leave it as is.
Maybe i understand "split load" different then you. I am not an native english speaker. Please explain more detailed.
Maybe you mean a fortnightly load? That is of course also possible. Check: http://www.timetabling.de/manual/FET-manual.en.html#id_36
It's very difficult to help without more information. Maybe sent an example, old timetable and/or your current file.

That is depending on your dataset.
If your data is very simple (same students and subject), then don't split the activity into 4 part. Just split it into 2 parts and increase duration of both parts up to 2. So you have only 2 days, but still 4 sessions.
If you have more difficult data, then you must care about the min n day constraint and maybe also add a same day constraint to that activities.
