Something like:

tc qdisc add dev ... root handle 1: htb
tc class add dev ... parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 2000kbit
...
tc class add dev .... htb rate 200kbit ceil 2000kbit prio 1
tc class add dev .... htb rate 200kbit ceil 2000kbit prio 1
tc class add dev .... htb rate 200kbit ceil 1000kbit prio 2
tc class add dev .... htb rate 200kbit ceil 1000kbit prio 2
tc class add dev .... htb rate 200kbit ceil 500kbit prio 3
tc class add dev .... htb rate 200kbit ceil 500kbit prio 3
tc class add dev .... htb rate 200kbit ceil 500kbit prio 3
tc class add dev .... htb rate 200kbit ceil 500kbit prio 3
tc class add dev .... htb rate 200kbit ceil 500kbit prio 3
tc class add dev .... htb rate 200kbit ceil 500kbit prio 3

Note that all the rates add up to the root, but that each leaf class has
the ceil set at the top limit.

Try it, but you may find that your total aggregate bandwidth is not
enough to do it this way.
