A square foot is a flat, level, two dimensional space, equalling 144 sq inches. (1 sq ft =12 x 12 inches)
The smallest face of each block is 8 x 4 (=32 sq ins).
In theory you could put 4.5 of such blocks directly on an area that is as large as 144 sq ins (144/32 = 4.5), by standing them on their ends. However, this means splitting a block, and there is also no allowance for mortar to bond the blocks.
So you can get four whole masonry blocks, on their ends, directly on to an area that measures 1 sq ft. In addition you can put another layer on top! So even though you only have 1 sq ft on which to place your blocks, you could stack them infinitely high! That's a lot of masonry blocks! However, the height will not actually be indefinite, ...as new courses of blocks are added, the lower blocks will eventually collapse uder the increasing weight of the massive tower of the blocks above!
The height of the constuction, and consequently the actual number of blocks on the 1 sq ft, therefore, is constrained by the compression strength of the blocks!...but that is another matter!
