The actual number of claimed pieces of the True Cross were meticulously measured by a French scientist.
They summed up (IIRC) to about 2/3 of a cross.

I found the details. The Frenchman was Charles Rohault de Fleury, and the total amount of slivers of cross he measured came to 240 cubic inches.
Nowhere near even 2/3 of a whole cross - I don’t know where I remember that figure from.
