Well, I, like all of you, have wayy too much stone lying around. There are many backend solutions: dwarven atom smasher, stonecrafting, etc. I would like to propose a frontend solution: modding.

Is it possible to mod stone layers to not drop as many stones when they are mined or is this hard coded?

I realize that mining skill plays a role in how many stones are produced by a given mining dwarf (can be confirmed through experiments using DF companion to mod skills and attributes and mining out 10x10 areas with dwarves of differently edited skill sets/attributes), but is that all there is to it?

Any thoughts?

Weeeell, you can erase all the non-economic, non-layer stones and leave just few of them in the raws.

When it comes to stones like that:
[ENVIRONMENT:SEDIMENTARY:CLUSTER:100]
Just change it to:
[ENVIRONMENT:SEDIMENTARY:CLUSTER:1]
So it will happen very seldom.

You can also make some fun and add [SOIL] to the stones

Haspen, I think he's complaining about all stone, not just non-layer stone.

I don't believe there's a modding workaround. Sorry.

De best possible solution is indeed to turn all layers into soil.

Complex solution which should sorta work:

Duplicate all stone layers. Make the duplicate a soil layer (so it drops no stones) and make the original stone only show up in clusters of the soil-stone.

You'd have to do some modding of gems and ore and the like as well, to make them show up correctly.

Your overthinking the solution, instead of editing every single stone types raws, edit the dwarves. Make the chance of legendary miners to find stone 20%(or whatever you want), lke the lower skilled miners, instead of the 100% legendary miners have by default.

won't that also affect how much ore is dropped as well?

things like gold, aluminum, gems should be affected as well, if i'm not mistaken.

Are you insinuating that you don't want microcline?

And where is this edited?

The miner skill->stone% is hardcoded, but you could give the common layer stones, like basalt the [BOILING_POINT:10018] tag, so they just dissolve into mist, but make sure not to set it too low or your dwarves will freeze to death while digging it out.
