When a manufacturer of paint claims a certain area that the paint will cover, say 100 sq ft per quart, is that for one coat or for the recommended number of coats?

The paint mfgs have no idea how many coats you are doing...they spec per coat @ xx mils thickness. Check the paint mfg for what thickness they spec at but figure around a 1.5 mils thickness for rule of thumb for many of them.
usually coverage is x amount of thickness for x amount of square area. usually paint manufacturers have the info on their websites, in the catalog or printed on the can
