I do believe this thread is getting a little silly.
The intent is to have enough receptacle outlets along the counter top to allow the happy homeowner to plug in their appliances from practically any spot on the counter top.
Unless your homeowner or the inspector is giving you fits, just put a bunch of receptacle outlets along the counter-tops, and let it go.
It really doesn't matter if there is 48.457 inches between the outlets, or if there is a corner of the counter where your cord won't reach. Move the appliance. It's portable.
