I think that "meteorids" as currently defined includes
both comet bits and asteroid bits. If that is so,
then their size distribution would not follow a power
law, but rather would be the sum of two power law
distributions.

I couldn't understand what you were trying to say in

the morning and I haven't even finished my coffee yet.

good hunting,
