I'm not a drummer, but I have played with a few. On whole anyone who is counting (regardless of instrument) is diverting too much attention to that and not enough to the music.

As for jazz - or any improvisational music, it's less about how many bars and more about when the phrase or solo reaches it's natural conclusion or climax. Then the cues are either visual ( a look or nod to the rhythm section) or musical - the melody or a variation there of is woven into the solo to cue the rest of the band they're back at the head of the tune....

Just my opinion here - everyone's got at different set of parameters when they play.
