If you are making box pleats, Hunnisett says that you should use 3

Yes, as you already know, I'm sure, 3 times the length for full-return
pleats. But some trims are not full-return and have a "skimpy"...but
desirable
lighter look. I'd do a little experiment with a length to see what you
like.
On "Last of the Mohicans" the cutter of Madeline Stowe's gown told me it's
better not to sew the lengths cut for the pleating together but to
disguise
the separate sections in the pleating as you sew it to the gown...y'know,
end
one length with the edge folded under at a pleat and the edge of the next
length slipped under that....then start pleating again.
