Is "'whip/splice" the same as "whip&tongue" without the tongue?
Yes. Just a long, sloping cut in both scion and rootstock, such that the
cambium layers line up in good
apposition, then wrap and seal.
Whether doing a bark graft or simple whip, I usually use a 2 or 3-bud scion
stick, unless I'm very short on a
particular variety, in which case I may put on 1-bud scions, but there's no
'backup' if that one bud gets damaged -
and there's less stored energy for callus formation, as a 1-bud scion is
typically quite a bit smaller than one
with 2,3 or more buds.

Again, aftercare is probably the most critical part of the whole operation
