Related: About this forumHow many leeks do two people need?
I planted out 108 leek starts yesterday before it started really raining. I still have 36 more to plant.
Maybe thats too many? Those seeds are so small- I always feel like there are barely enough in a 4 pot until I have to plant them out.

Depends on how much you love leeks! Potato Leek Soup uses 4 large ones (the way I make it)

You will probably use them gradually once they get to usable size. Sounds like a nice problem to have!

You'll use 'em! Not sure where you are, but they overwinter here in NJ.
