I have to make some M/T joints and the tenon part is 5 inches wide. should I make one tenon that wide or two smaller ones? Thanks Halsey

What are the dimensions of the rail and stile or post and beam stock?
Generally, a double tenon would be used...but depends a lot on what it is you're making.

Maybe even a triple tenon would be called for, depends on the wood used and how the wood was milled (quartersawn, flat sawn, etc.).

Halsey,
A full height tenon haunched 1 1/2'' @ top should work well. The tensile stress is at the botom of the stretcher. A double 1 1/2" would work also.
