I love this! I have experimented with smaller batches of starter, but not quite as small as 2 oz. I was just about to start a new one (my old one grew mold after being neglected for a few weeks... I feel guilty!) and I'll try these instructions. Using identical jars for storing and building is genius. Why didn't I think of that? Also, if you do end up having lots of extra... the recipe for pikelets on this site is a fantastic and easy way to use them up (I add cheese). I've never actually thrown away excess starter, I always use it in something.
