using washed yeast

[Plumeja]

i was wondering how you decide on how much of the yeast you use when making your starter. there must be a method to measuring it out. or is it use the whole cake in a jar at a time and build it up in a starter.
can there be bad effects of using too much yeast in a starter????
there is alot of info on how to wash the yeast but i couldnt find too much on pitching it or measuring it out so there is consistent amounts.
can you handle yeast in some manner so that it can me measured out, like when you buy white lab tubes??
is there a whole lot more questions but i will leave it at that
thanks
jason
