If the caps are matched, there is no need for balancing.  There's no harm in adding a high value resistor, say 10k, across each cap.  You could use a very small resistor, 1/8W would be plenty.  Since I buy name brand caps in quantity, they're all coming from one lot, and they're matched.  Note that the 5V caps are really two 2.7V caps internally, and they don't use any balancing for those.  I'm guessing they're thinking any small imbalance will be covered by the .2V margin they allowed.

GRJ, thanks very much for the details.  It is great that you are willing to share your knowledge and experience on this forum.
