The easiest option might be to use least connections on the top tier LTM. Assuming the TCP connections use roughly the same server resources on average this would distribute the load equally.
How are LTM1 and LTM2 polling the servers below them? Could you configure the same polling on the top tier LTM? I'm guessing this wouldn't be feasible, as it would require you to poll/load balance from LTM to the servers directly.
Another option would be to use an iControl app to poll the LTM1 and LTM2 stats for their pools and use that to modify the pool ratio on the top tier LTM.
