I've got this all figured out.
60, 8' logs is about a cord (for the average size logs I have delivered :) ), and out of each log I get 6 rounds @ "16. That's 360 rounds, and out of each round, I get an average ( Love that word) of 2.5 splits, which gives me 900 splits. On average. YMWV.
Now that I've done all that, I just keep splitting wood until I get 128 ft./cord, and call it good. That's also not precise, since stacking technique and split size have some impact on that.
Jeez, just go cut some wood.
Have fun.
 
Carry up to 5 times, but count it only once!

Actually I prefer to weigh it. LOL
