I've found a way that improves satellite distribution. If you have a satellite layer ship with, say, 20 satellites on it, don't drop them all at once. Go to the "Deploy Units" screen, drop four or five of the sat's, exit the screen, then repeat until all of your sat's have been dropped.

This doesn't let you put them in any specific formation, but I've done this to guard warp points before and had enemy ships come through and find themselves right in the middle of a ring of satellite Groups.
