What is your experience with this division into block compared to larger piles? I haven't seen noticed my larger blocks sprout significantly faster compared to smaller ones. I used to have 1 block 190k Bean and it took it 2 weeks to sprout.
My question is what affects staking weight more, the number of blocks or their size? Is there some formula for this?

Good question! From what I have seen total number of Beans matters most but number of blocks and block size are very important. Its kind of like a lottery system. If you have one big block then you only have one ticket, one chance to win, but if you have many blocks then you have many more chances to win. With 190k Beans I would make 19 10k blocks or 38 5k blocks.
Block age also matters. Older blocks become 'stale', refresh them if they are older than a month but don't reblock them all at once.
I have been testing different block sizes for many months now and I have found that 10k blocks seem to work best for me as I have many blocks that increases my chance at earning a sprout. I also have 20k blocks which sprout as well so I would say that any block size between 10k to 20k will sprout eventually and the more someone has the more chance they will sprout and more often.
