It looks like the serving size is per package.1

My tofu is 5 servings (3 oz) at 70 calories per serving, so 350 calories a package. It's House Foods Organic Tofu 16 oz total.2

Ah, the wonderful world of serving sizes. The package is a total of 439 grams which means you have 5.16 servings (since the serving size is listed as 85 grams).
But are you going to split it up into 5.16 portions? Whatever that is?
For tofu, I drain it and cut the block into either 4 or 6 portions and then whip out my calculator so that I can enter correctly into MFP.
For example, if I cut your Simple Truth Organic into 4 portions, I'd then let MFP know that I had (wait for the fun math...)- 439/4 = 109.75 grams (which is one-quarter of your total package size)
- 109.75/85 = 1.29 or 1.3 servings
So I'd tell MFP that I had 1.3 of a serving size when entering.
If nothing else, this app has improved my math skills.

Per pack cut into 5 3 0z servings0

What? Now I'm confused. I buy this one in bulk and eat it every day. I count each half pack as 2.5 servings = 200 calories, or 5 servings and 400 calories per entire package (both halves). Is that what we're saying is correct? Hope so!! Lol.0

Ok, based on the two attached links it looks like both half packs together make 5 servings = 400 calories. So my thinking that each half pack = 2.5 servings must be correct. Yeah I'm an over thinker too, lol..

I make tofu scrambles and divide it into two servings and log it as 2.5 servings as well. You're logging correctly!1
