You are overcomplicating the use of the dispatch component. A simple True/False will suffice.

Otherwise you could use a Modulo 2 expression to get a 010101010101..... pattern.

But I'm afraid your reasoning behind using the equality component to test for even numbers is flawed because of the data matching used by gh. It is testing like this:

0==0 True

2==1 False

4==2 False

6==3 False

etc

.............

Where as a Modulo 2 would work like this

0%2 = 0

1%2 = 1

2%2 = 0

3%2 = 1

4%2 = 0

5%2 = 1

6%2 = 0

7%2 = 1

8%2 = 0

9%2 = 1

......

Also I notice you have some errors in your expressions producing Nulls.

If you want it to be twice the value then you should have 2*D in the Expression and 10*D in the other

....

I attach a working version.
