The number of blocks per square metre depends on the size of the blocks. If you're using 200x100s, then 50 per m² is right, but if, for instance, you were using medium-sized Brett Beta @ 210x140mm, then it would be only 34 blocks per m².
Next, manufacturers put different numbers/area of blocks in their packs. They all have their own packing machinery that will be set up to cube and wrap whatever they think is the most appropriate quantity, which can be 12m² or so, as supplied by Tobermore, to a shade over 5m² for some of the 80mm products.
Normally, you tell your supplier how many square metres you need, allowing for wastage, and they supply the requisite number of packs and leafs/blades.
