In theory, there should be no problem with doing this at all. The problem comes with the accuracy of very small measurements vs large measurements. What I mean is while there are 16 tablespoons in a cup, you’d be very hard pressed to measure out exactly a cup from exactly 16 tablespoons. With something like a 1/4 teaspoon of salt, when you make the small batch you likely aren’t using an actual full 1/4 teaspoon. Then, when you quadruple the batch and measure a full teaspoon, it has more salt that you would have used if you had measured four 1/4 teaspoon incrimints. Hope that makes sense!
