I think it is more probable that people will split one building into several buildings than the other way round. It may also not be very clear how many buildings there are in some cases, e.g. when dealing with very old buildings (i.e. not built according to modern prescriptions), sometimes you will have dependent buildings (you can't tear down one building because the neighbour would fall as well because it is leaning on the other building, something that today won't be allowed under any jurisdiction I am aware of). cheers, Martin
