Or brew a small batch ( single) that one vial will be enough for and bottle it after three weeks and put the larger batch (dubble) on the yeast cake: problem solved and you end up with two different beers.
I'm just here for the beer.

For dried yeast I really like fermenting T-58. I brewed a version of this recipe and was very pleased with the result....

A side effect of upgrading my brew length is that there is no small batch brewing any more, to develop my starter skills.

Now that I am managing my yeast very nicely, I don't want to go back to the bad old days of stressed yeast.
