Might not be a bad idea to count switches as 3. In most places I used switches as block separations. Just kind of worked out that way. The diverging route is either a siding (separate block) or separation between loops of track (also separate blocks). I don't have a large layout so most of my blocks are less than what is recommended. So far I haven't yet run into anything that has caused a problem.
