If you have not yet cut your film, and will be using the Epson 4990; I would recommend that you cut for four frames because that will allow for the most efficient Bulk-scanning.
But do check to see what negative sleeves are available before you cut your film.
My negative collection covers the past half-century and I always cut to strips of three so I am stuck with it
Also, any scanning software can handle BW negs.
Orange-masked color negative film is a different matter and I have found that, of the scanning software which is currently available, only SilverFast can do this well.
I almost always shot on colour negative stock because it provided the most versatility for future use. I am extremely glad that I did because, fifty years later, these negatives are scanning to provide brilliant colour while the dyes in slide material have deteriorated badly.
The recent tragic earthquakes in Nepal led me to seek-out the photographs which I shot there in 1972. I scanned all of them on an Epson 4990 with SilverFast and I then posted this picture essay in tribute to Nepal:
