More than one slice of the right allotment of shares (7)

I believe the answer is:

rashers

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'more than one slice' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Slices of bacon' mean 'rashers' so perhaps 'slices' could also mean 'rashers')

'right allotment of shares' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'shares' is 'ashers' which is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rashers that I've seen before include "Tasty strips of bacon" , "Meat slices" , "Thin slices of bacon" , "eaten at breakfast" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Globe and Mail.
