Question about Sneak Attack flurries and BAB

Hello there,

i have found an interesting topic named Building Mechanics, explaining very well what a flurry is and how many attacks go in the first flurry making Sneak Attacks available.

BAB 0: Two-Weapon Fighting:
1 | 0 | 0 1 | 1 | 0
BAB 6: Improved Two-Weapon Fighting:
1 | 1 | 0 2 | 1 | 1
BAB 11: Greater Two-Weapon Fighting:
1 | 1 | 1 2 | 2 | 2
BAB 16:
2 | 1 | 1 3 | 2 | 2

My question is:
Assuming i have 16 BAB and Perfect Two-Weapon Fighting, it would raise my attacks from 7 to 8. Will the new attack be added to the first flurry or to the second one?

I mean: 4/2/2 or 3/3/2 ?

Thanks!

All main hand attacks happen before off hand attacks. Thus with 4 main hand attacks and four off hand attacks your flurries would be:
1: 3 main hand attacks - BAB 16 / 11 / 6(sneak attacks out of stealth)
2: 1 main hand attack, 2 off hand attacks - BAB 1 / 16 / 11
3: 2 off hand attacks - BAB 6 / 1

So it would be 3/3/2. In order to get a 4th attack in the first flurry you would need to reach 21 BAB which would grant 10 APR with PTWF.

Only first flurry counts as sneak attack from stealth.

Here is exact article on how much attacks you get in flurry ( count attack from both hands )

If you are not attacking from stealth ( but have another source of sneak attack like flanked ) flurry does not matter.
