1 cup of granular splenda has 24 "sugar" carbs. That translates into the textural properties of 2 T. of sugar. As Karen, said, it's minimal.
If you do come across a recipe where those 2 T. of sugary texture make a huge difference and you want to match granular splenda exactly, just use 2 T. of white sugar, since it has a similar carb/glycemic/caloric/textural impact as maltodextrin. Or better yet, find an alternative method of providing sugary texture (erythritol, inulin, polydextrose, acacia gum, etc.).
