Can someone help me create a script to allow me to have multiple instances of VLC open on a Windows 10 computer and be able to use a single hot key to start/pause all the instances at the same time. I will have anywhere from 3-8 instances open at once, dragged onto different monitors with a difference video ready to play on each instance of VLC. I need to be able to hit a single key (spacebar) and all 5 instances of VLC start playing at the same time.

Thank you so much in advance. Id be will to donate to someone or whatever if they can create this for me.

Syncplay can allow you to unpause multiple instances if you unpause one instance, but it is only semi-instantaneous. There is also the old VLC --input-slave but I've not really looked into it.
