Calculating accumulated flash for my pinhole camera...

I would like to experiment with different lighting scenarios with my 4X5
pinhole camera. Specifically, I would like to use a studio strobe to
"paint" my subject. Am I calculating this correctly?

If my camera's pinhole f-stop is F197 and my metered strobe reading for
the scene is F22 (assuming correct meter reading for film ASA), I would
have to hit the flash approximately 8 times (22,32,45,64,90,125,180,250)
to get a correct exposure for the image?

Anybody have any experience doing this?
