Uhhh..... unless I am totally misunderstanding your question, the dimmers are in your dimmer rack somewhere, not in your console. There would not be "extra dimmers".... it's the number of dimmers you have. From the way you are phrasing the question, you may have only 96 dimmers, less than 96 dimmers, or a couple of hundred dimmers. The number of stage circuits you have will be an indicator of how many dimmers there are if you have a dimmer-per-circuit system.
In the express, the dimmers are dmx addresses. On a one to one patch, I have used a total of 240 dmx addresses for 240 channels. . How can I use the balance of my dmx addresses or are the dead unless I patch multiple addresses to the channels.NUhhh..... unless I am totally misunderstanding your question, the dimmers are in your dimmer rack somewhere, not in your console.

EDIT: Just figured out that you might mean "How do I assign ONLY one dimmer to a channel ?" instead of the usual 1:1 patch where the dimmers start wrapping around after dimmer 240 to chan 240.
Answer: patch any unused dimmer to chan 0, where it will sit there at the end of the patch list and not be connected to anything. Note-- you can also limit the number of dimmers in use by going to System Settings and just entering the number of dimmers you actually have.
Non-profit with no money. If I could, I'd have an ETC ion by now.

If you or someone involved is a student or educator, then the Education Package from ETC is worth considering. $250 plus a laptop normally gets you two full universes of control. It looks like they're currently having a parts shortage, so it's now $200 for the usb license without the Gadget--which is the device that provides DMX connectors. In order to get a physical DMX output you could use any sACN (or Art-Net) gateway) instead. DMX King has some relatively inexpensive ones that I've heard good things about.
I *thought* that you had to use only [edit:]The Gadget with Nomad, no? Am I misremembering?If you or someone involved is a student or educator, then the Education Package from ETC is worth considering. $250 plus a laptop normally gets you two full universes of control.

Might that limitation only have been on the edu package?
