Usta and the ER-101 have some unusual flexibility to run its four sequences at different divisions with arbitrary stage length because each stage can have an arbitrary number of time units. However, in both cases, there is only one clock. I suppose the IO Labs Flux is arguably similar in this regard.
Vector also has variable stage length, but it limits you to multiples. I’m not sure why. However, as mentioned above, you can also configure a part to step forward based on the trigger in jacks of the expanders, more or less disregarding the internal clock. (Don’t expect to clock a part at audio rates with Vector.)
You’re going to have maximum flexibility and simplicity by simply relying on multiple reactive sequencers (analog style), such as your SQ-1, that just sit there and do nothing much until a clock trigger arrives. There are maybe a handful of more interesting/sophisticated alternatives, such as the Tetrachords—you can, indeed, must, clock its four parts externally.
