Can someone help me modify the recipe so that I am not making 7 pounds of collard greens but serving for 4? Thank you!

Maybe look at some other recipes that give the yield in number of servings, rather than in pounds. Then do some simple math, and see how many servings 6.5 lbs would yield. Then, reduce this recipe, to make 4 servings.
 
1 lb. Collard Greens
5 slices bacon, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 onion, fine dice
2 tbs. butter
2 tbs. red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. chicken base
1 tsp. Kosher salt
1 tsp. black pepper
2 cups water
1/3 cup Worcestershire Sauce

That should make enough for 4 servings of just over 1/4 lb. per serving. Let me know how it turns out.

I make small batches. Last was one bunch of turnip greens weighing 7.1 ounces raw. I added three cups liquid and ended up with 43.75 ounces of cooked greens. Course I added other stuff. Posting "recipe" below, not because I think it's better but just 'cause that's whut was in the icebox last week. But maybe you can get a sense of proportions from it. Would have served four as a side dish easy but I'd probably double it.
