That'd be hard to realize. If you do "-down16" eac3to doesn't know yet which channel has which true bitdepth. So eac3to would have to apply dithering. Only at the end of the whole processing eac3to would notice "ooops, some of those channels were only 16bit to begin with" and thus would have to redo the whole processing from the get go. That's quite complicated and honestly I don't really think it's worth the effort...
