I think half & half is 10% MF. There's some product labelled as coffee cream and that's 18% which is the same as single cream, though I have seen a light cream in the 6% MF range, which is not much above homogenized milk. There's even an old-fashioned heavy cream that's 36% milk fat.
Someone with good algebra or chemistry can concoct their own mix.
