Wood amount not updating upon seperation from wood-dropoff

When you have a tree with a certain amount of volume. 

 That volume does not get split between parts when the tree breaks into multiple parts by the wood-dropoff. 

 In other words: 

 You can take a gigantic tree to the wood-dropoff 

 Have it eat the tree until you can pick up a tiny part 

 Drag that insanely heavy tiny part to your base's sawmill and put it in 

 Get a gigantic wood log equivalent to the entire gigantic tree's volume 

 It has not yet been tested if it's possible to duplicate wood using this method.
