I prefer pint jars, but just inoculate more and a pint jar shouldn't fall too far behind a 1/2 pint (the bottom might take longer to colonize because it won't go down teh glass that far). Look at it this way, better flushes...
Don't worry though, nothing to get upset about in the least. Good Luck.

I'd get out your calculator and multiply the 1/2 proportions by 2 to bring them up to pints, then by 6 for 6 jars. The math is annoying at first, but after a few batches it comes much more naturally.
In my limited experience, I've used 1/4 pint, 1/2 pint, and pint sized cakes... smaller sizes just means quicker colonization but smaller flushes. The first responder, the pint sized cakes fruit like mad men.

Depends mostly on your incubator temp, the strain, moisture content, etc. Honestly there's no point in anyone telling you even an estimate, because it's not goign to be right. I can tell you it will be in the weeks, but how many depends on how it goes for you in the end. The only way to know is to just do it and find out.
