What is the correct settings for perfect carpet bombing?

To destroy a column of targets with 10 cbu 97's, which parameters that I should use to perform a bomb run without leaving any area that isn't covered?  Height, speed, pair or ripple,  distance between bombs etc?

Depends on number of vehicles in the column. HOF is hard set to 1500’ so I’d look to set single, ripple 2, distance 100’ as a starting point. The closer to HOF you release, the less chance of wind affecting the canisters as the fall. Using a CCRP drop will aim to allow for wind.

Ripple single, release pulses as needed, spacing 999, 400 kts. at 2000ft. That will give you a great footprint. That’s what I use.

10 CBU-97?! How possible? F-16 can't carry/drop 10 CBUs! (A flight of two ship maybe).

You can carry 10 CBU-97 with the f-16. 2x3 on 4 and 7 and 2x2 on 3 and 8. That makes 10 in Total.

I'll have to check it again, but AFAIK, only one CBU can (should) be mounted on internal pylon, or even not a single one (not speaking about MK20) ...
