4 vials/packs with no starter, 2 packs with a gallon starter, or one pack with a gallon starter on a stir plate
...or that's what Mr. Malty likes anyway. That pitching rate calculator is pretty reliable. You really should use a huge amount of yeast for that kind of OG.

Are we "assuming" 5 gallon batch size?
Personally, for something that size, I'd pitch onto the cake from a prior batch if I could. Not strictly necessary, but over pitching is hard to do in my experience.

Yep, I'd just pitch on a full cake myself.
By the time you've made a starter big enough you're practically brewing a full batch anyway, so why not get some beer out of it

When mr malty says to use 3.08 liter starter, how exactly do I make that?

1/2 cup DME per 2 cup water = roughly 1.040
So now take that info and make approximately 3 liters/3 quarts.
