Change the assumptions in a free calculator, then explain what the result establishes and what still needs measurement.
Use these concept explanations to review the ideas behind this question.
Define the KV layout and query-to-KV-head mapping, preserve stable softmax state across page boundaries, and choose a split count from measured work distribution rather than assumed occupancy.
