You have to change the settings to record on one card only, or maybe have the second as overflow. Then switching the primary card will show the remaining shots per card. Like others have said, recording to multiple cards will show the lower amount since it needs to record to both.

I see. Well that sort of helped.
Side note, another thing I noticed is Fv mode which I've never used before. This seems to just replace all other modes really so I went to use that instead...and my number of shots shown on the screen decreased by about 2K shots. Going back to manual, it goes back to 5k shots or so, back to Fv it goes down to just over 3K. Far as I can tell all the same qualities to each card on each setting as well. Maybe I'm missing something there as well.
To go back to the CFe/SD thing. If you shoot raw to CFe plus jpeg to SD, let's pretend your CFe only had space for 10 raw pictures, but your SD card has space for 100 raw pictures. Only you shoot 10 pictures, your CFe card has space for 0 pictures and your SD card has space for 90 pictures. You can't take pictures at this point because you have no more CFe storage and the camera will not switch to recording raw to SD only automatically. You can change the settings to take more pictures, but as far as the camera is concerned, your settings of shooting raw to one card and jpeg to another dictate that you have no more storage available to take pictures once the CFe card is full.
Fv can be auto anything, including ISO. Higher ISO has more noise, which takes up more storage. You can switch to manual, increase your ISO, and you will see the picture count drop also. Of course, that storage number is a complete guesstimate and how many pictures your storage holds is dictated by how much data is needed to capture the image.
