Store file size metrics

I was looking at the metrics column in the regionservers web UI and had a question:

If I understand correctly hbase.hregion.max.filesize is the max size of a single column family's storefile size. If I have 4 column families in a table and have hbase.hregion.max.filesize set to 1GB that means I will likely see a region's storefileSizeMB  be greater than 1GB before it is split, and in theory if all store files are similar sized it could reach a total of 4GB? 

thanks,
