I probably didn't explain it clearly enough - the whole area where the
balusters are is boarded over, not individual balusters. There's two
big pieces of plywood covering the whole baluster area. What I'm
curious about is what's behind these two pieces of plywood - proper
balusters or just a few supporting struts holding up the handrail.

Try a moving a metal/stud/wire detector over the top to identify
position of any major nails? If they are there, they many be at standard
spacings. Nails placed to hold boarding will be somewhere else than the
top , and will be placed as seen fit by the installer.
