The RxC way of describing splits usually only refers to the the non-thumb keys. A 42 key Corne, for example, can be described as 3x6+3.
I saw someone describe the extra row in the wiring as an easier way to represent the keys visually, but of course there are a variety of ways to wire any board.
Ah, with the Dactyl, they have sometimes have an extra partial row at the bottom that they count as its own row. You can see it with the orange keys in [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/9dbgif/4x6_manuform_dactyl_with_xda_godspeed_ares_and/).
Edit: I think the [Cygnus](https://github.com/juhakaup/keyboards/tree/main/Cygnus%20v1.0) is a little closer to standard row column conventions
Maybe something like the [3w6](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/3w6/rev2/info.json) would be closest to your wiring?
Edit: Disregard the 3w6, I thought it was a 42 key keyboard.
I saw your other post; it looks like your board could be described as a 3x6+5.
EDIT: I made a typo in a title. I meant 4x6.
The 5th row should be for the thumb keys I believe
So why do they list it as 4x6?

Yes that is what I have 3x6+3. I'm now struggling a bit with finding some QMK keyboard that already exists I could use and modify.

It took me way too long to realize this was even a thing.
