It would be very uncommon to perform a token rebalance (or bring up replacement nodes) under a network partition, since those nodes are fine. The idea is to be tolerant to a network partition, which multi-master is, not to then attempt to patch up a whole new network while the partition is in place. That could easily bring down the entire cluster.

Data is only typically shuffled around when a replacement node is introduced to the cluster.

If you have multiple independent network partitions that isolate all of your RF nodes, then there is no database that could function safely in this scenario, and this has nothing to do with data shuffling.
