Is this too much yeast?

That is not too much, it takes much more than that to overpitch. Rehydrate and pitch in the whole pack.
It is very hard to overpitch on a homebrew level. Racking a second low to medium gravity wort onto a 5 gallon yeast cake is one way, but otherwise don't worry.
I do 1.75 gallon batches and often dump a whole pack of dry yeast in the bucket. Only had two blow offs in over a year. Never rehydrate either. Just scatter the yeast and cover.
