So if you has a 1,000g single stone from a fall, and you cut 3/4 of it into slices leaving one 250g end piece, that end piece would be the "main mass" no matter how small it might be. With the Garza's Stone broken (upon impact or otherwise), and the Jones' Stone being the largest intact specimen now, I would logically say the Jones' is the "main mass" now. And if the Jones' stone ever gets cut, leaving the larger portion of the Garza's stone to then be larger than the biggest intact Garza specimen, it would become the new "main mass." Is there an official terminology out there?
