Stitching

I am not expert but for 6x6 and 6x7 I have been happy with my results stitching two Fuji X-T30 images together. I use a Lawoa 65mm and can normally get down to the level of the grain - the limiting factor is often depth of field and film flatness rather than raw resolution. With only two images LR normally does a decent job.

When I first started dslr scanning I did a few tests. A single image was fine for quick viewing but didn't capture all of the detail. Two was the sweet spot. Four did not show an appreciable difference and increased workflow and filesizes. So I settled on two.
