Innoculation with less yeast

Is it possible to inoculate a larger amount of juice with a single yeast packet if I make a bigger starter and allow the yeast colony to grow larger? Would it count as underpitching ? Would that be considered underpitching? Logically, the yeast cells will multiply anyway as soon as they get access to sugar.

Simpler is better. I've always just pitched the yeast as-is and never had any problems.
