I have a related question. Say I want 4 people to review a document sometime in the next week (5 days), and each of them will need to spend about 2 hours reviewing it. I fix both the effort (8 hours) and duration (1 week), and OP figures out that each person is using 2/40 = 5% of their time to do so.

However, when I level the project, these people all become underutilized for the week, fixed at 5%. I'd like their other tasks to fill in some of that week as well. Currently, this only happens if I manually enter in values of effort of 95% or less for all of their other tasks which might conflict during that week. What would be better is if other tasks (based on priority and position) would automatically lower their effort percentage accordingly (and naturally take a bit longer) so that people could work on more than one task at a time.

Is there something I'm missing (e.g., in how tasks are split, or again an "up to X%" universal setting)?
