Well, see the spreadsheet. I have now updated it so it is exactly 7 steps, and also covers the "dark edge".
This gives the following numbers for the bright edge, assuming maximum placement difference (40 - granite to tunnel):
and for the dark edge:
With 0.45 being the "standard" illumination level. Lower placement differences should "stretch" the distribution appropriately. So, yes, this means that if we only used landscape normals, the dark edge of granite would be basically black. I might actually have to re-check the math a bit - this seems a bit too extreme.
