Very minor suggestion, probably easy enough to implement:

Please, make it so that wood logs, like stone blocks, give 4 blocks per log. It would help tremendously with my next coloured wooden floor project.

(Sorry, but the wording was just too tempting to pass up.)

That being said, I do agree that this would be a really useful update! Breaking apart resources so that you don't have crazy situations where 1 rock = 1 earring = 1 stone table would be all sorts of nice.

Also for your particular situation, if you wanted you could always mod in a workshop that turns a log into 4 "planks" or some such which you could then use as flooring. I don't recall the specifics off the top of my head, but I'm 95% sure that someone over in the modding forum could whip up such a thing in short order.

Easy enough, it's been done.
Also, the 1 stone -> 4 blocks happened to let us build as much as with legendary miners. While I heartily support this idea, that should be mentioned...

I'm not sure if it is needed. It all depends on how much wood the multitile trees will produce. Probably more than they used too.

I imagine larger trees will be less numerous, and grow more slowly. Still, your point stands. Since this aspect is currently being rebalanced, we should wait to see how it turns out before we make suggestions. In the mean time, you can make a custom milling workshop that turns 1 wood into 4 blocks; It kind of reverses the problem, however, in that now 1 wood = 4 walls = 1 earring.

1-3 earrings/bracelets/figurines/etc. There are 1-3 crafts made per job.
Also bear in mind that waste wood (sawdust and such) in higher for detailed crafts than simple blocks.

[Bytyan]

Even so, a significantly higher volume of wood is required to make four dwarf sized blocks impassable then to decorate 3 ears.

Which is a quirk which will be fixed by the magical day of DF 1.0.
