Is it OK to write the resistance in parallel like this?

Yes.

My memory rhyme was always "Reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals"
which when pocket calculators came along in 1970's became quite handy.

Enter R,, press 1/x, press M+, repeat until all R's accounted for, press Recall Memory, press 1/x .

That's one place where a pocket calculator really outdoes a slide rule .

Your formula is much more elegant. Just make sure there's not a R₀ !

have fun,.

A bit off track but in // r's the total network R should always be smaller than the smallest resistor in ohms.

Also, a network has no P/S whereas a circuit has a power supply.

And again what Jimbo said... R total = the sum of the reciprocals, reciprocated. You can use the same formula for inductors as well, whereas capacitors you treat opposite.
