You don't have to do a 4 gallon batch of root beer. "All" the bottles can be just one or two bottles, or however many you decide on.
For example, you can get the root beer concentrate, divide it up into portions to make enough of the flavor for one or two two liter bottles, then add the sugar and yeast and then just fridge the two when they're ready.
I make syrups I add to carbonated water for my sodas, but for example, I used a measuring device. Either a table/teasppon or a glass measuring cup (shotglass sized). I've done this and I still have the concentrate containers waiting for another syrup batch to be made. Only use a little over a third of the bottle I think.
But you could use partial amounts of the concentrate to one or more 2 liter bottles and save the concentrate for when those are finished. (Rainbow extracts instructions say for 1 gallon, you'd use 1 Tbsp or 1/2 oz. This would make about 3.7 liters. Thus two 2-liter bottles, maybe with a drop or two more of concentrate)
also: The reason you need to fridge them is to slow the yeast activity, since otherwise, the yeast will keep eating the sugars until either the bottle explodes or the sugar is all eaten.
