Jul 29, 2021 at 10:29 comment added mlk You need to move all of them of course to keep the solution stationary. But for any choice of $v_1,v_2$ there are $v_3,...,v_6$ that keep them balanced in such a way that there is some uniform distance between each of the latter. So you could have $v_1,v_2$ converge to the same limit vector with their segments oppositely oriented and balance them with a similar sequence of $v_3,...,v_6$ that converge without cancelling.
Jul 28, 2021 at 15:03 comment added Leo Moos I'd be interested in a simpler example, but I am skeptical about your suggestion. I don't see how two of the legs could be moved to cancel one another in the limit for a stationary current.
Jul 28, 2021 at 6:39 comment added mlk This looks about right to me. You can probably simplify it slightly by rotating two of the legs of $S$ to coincide in the limit instead of adding L, but the idea stays the same.
