>> Immediately you divide the hives as far as they can possibly go,
making as many as 7 or 8 splits per hive.

Splitting like this was developed by Langstroth, who tested the limits
of splitting. However I believe he tested walk away splits getting
success with 1 and 2 frame splits if the brood distribution and bee
cluster were heavy enough.
