Regular yeast won't make vinegar, it makes alcohol. Vinegar is made from the oxidation by acetic acid bacteria as for how much, it honestly doesn't matter... yeasts will grow to fit the container... but i wouldn't try just putting a few specs in, since it will take forever to start. I usually use a standard packet in my 5 gallon fermenting pail for brewing... but wouldn't make a big difference if i used half a packet or 2 packets.
