Just measured out my patio area, not sure how much quarry waste to order. The area is roughly 44 square metres and i am putting about four inches of sub-base down. If i use two inches depth of sand on top i
assume i need halve the sub-base weight.

Are you using this iffy quarry waste as a bedding material? 5Tonnes will be plenty - you might get away with 4 if you keep it down to 35mm of bedding, but, if you're going for the full 50mm, and you have a bit of concreting work to do, then get 5 Tonnes.
Quarry waste varies from quarry to quarry. The stuff classed as waste from some of the northern limestone and gritstone quarries is usually ok for bedding, but some of the hardstone wastes, or slate waste, can be nothing more than a nuisance.
