Does breaking a grass cluster = single planting?

[goffin18]

If i use multiplant clusters for grass and later break some clusters, does the act of breaking affect the object meter? Will it now show as if i’d planted grass one piece at a time?
i planted wild grass in an area and later decided i needed to run a path through it. I did so and then broke a few grass clusters to remove the wild grass from the path itself.
I hadn’t noticed what the object meter said and it may not have been enough removal of pieces to make a difference…but for future reference, would be good to know!

I’ve broken the clusters before when importing a course and it’s come in over 100% meter, by doing so I got it back under 100% but I still get the impression it’s more costly than single planting.

It would need someone to do a proper test I think

I remember when I was planting creeping thyme in my garden and had to rearrange some patches. Breaking clusters shouldn't affect the object meter much, especially if it's just a few pieces. It's all part of fine-tuning your landscape.
