Haven't found this answer. By the time I added 5.5 pounds of DME and steeping grains, I had only used 2.5 gallons of water in my 4 gallon pot. The whole was well over 3.5 gallons (I had about a quarter inch to the top - thank God I don't seem to get boil overs - my theory is that the stove heats slow enough to avoid it).
Question is - did I do a 3.5+ gallon boil or just a 2.5 gallon boil in terms of figuring out effectiveness/hop utilization?
