Hi Alan,
I came across another possibility you could consider:
Visuddhimagga XVII, 106, by Ven. Nyanamoli:

106. Here there is no single or multiple fruit of any kind from a single
cause, nor a single fruit from multiple causes, but only multiple fruit
from multiple causes.... But one representative cause and fruit given in
this way,
'With ignorance as condition there are formations; with formations as
condition, consciousness', have a meaning and a use.>

It sounds good to me: with ignorance as condition, formations arise...
This is close to what you had at first.
Nina.
