Add tubes to your centrifuge basket arranged as factors of the total number of spaces. For instance, if you have a twelve hole centrifuge, you can add tubes in every second hole, for six tubes in total; in every third hole for four tubes in total, in every fourth hole for three tubes in total; or every sixth hole for two tubes.

You can combine these factors one way to place five tubes in your centrifuge basket - a balanced array of two and a balanced array of three tubes.

As well as that, you can arrange the gaps in your centrifuge basket the same way, so you can have five , four, three or two tubes left out of a twelve hole basket.

In that way it is possible to place two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or twelve tubes safely in a twelve hole centrifuge basket.
