I´m not sure how M2TW handles this, but in MTW, the experience is recorded for every single man, not as an overall average.
True, but its harder to wrap around a 60 unit squad instead of a 30 unit. Getting a wrap around effect will damaged the moral pretty major on the one being wrapped.

ANOTHER QUESTION that I haven't seen asked yet. If lets say I was using Sherwood archers and I had three men lose an HP point due to arrow fire or whatever and I win the battle. Does that individual three men always have 1 hp lost from then on or does it regenerate after the battle back to 2 hp max?
