Depends on the original gravity of the beer, and what size flask do you have? You can make multi-stage starters and use an online yeast calculator tool to buildup to the correct pitching rate / yeast cells.
you dont NEED a stirplate for a starter. Make 2 1L starters, use the stirplate for the one you are going to pitch first. Just periodically shake the other. I dont use stirplates for 90% of my starters
This calculator is what I use: http://www.yeastcalculator.com/
You could definitely make a starter big enough for both batches.

Hmm. First time using starter and this calculator. Dont really know what im looking for.
Both batches are 6.5 gallons so 13 gallons total. According to this I need 492 yeast cells which comes out to be 2.5 Liters of starter. If i only have 1000ml flask how would i do that?
