How Many Cupcakes Can You Cover With One Recipe?

About how many cupcakes do you think I can cover with a recipe of buttercream using the 2D tip?
And can you half a buttercream recipe?
Thanks so much for any help or input. 
I can cover 2 dozen cupcakes with a recipe of buttercream using 4lbs of powder sugar. There is usually some left over. It does depend on if your swirl is flat or full/taller.
I cover two dozen with a batch of Indydebi's buttercream. Make the swirls start a tiny ways in from the edge of the cupcake and you use half as much frosting but it still looks the same. They don't end up as top-heavy that way either.

I do this too and she's right it still looks great. I rather have a tall dolop than a wide one.
