It will vary greatly depending on circumstance.  Most of the time the
record size matches the MTU.  Other times it matches the write size,
which can be only a small number of octets.  For bulk transfers it can
approach the record maximum.  All on the same connection sometimes.

I really don't know what you are suggesting here.  The point is the
accounting in terms of records doesn't really give you any insight
into the number of blocks.
