A stock may split a number of ways 2:1, 3:2, etc. By your statement, you are asssuming a split is ONLY 2:1.

That is inaccurate and can lead to misunderstandings.

4-1 and 2-1 = 6 splits

Not unless you failed grade 4 math. 8:1. If you start with 10 shares. After the first split, (2:1) you wind up with 20 shares. Then the stock splits again (this time 4:1), your 20 shares become 80 shares.
You started with 10 shares you wound up with 80 shares. Total split 8:1. get it ?
