I would place about a dozen seeds around in a paetrtn that spaces them out. Once the plants sprout, when they have 4 leaves, thin out half of the seedlings, taking every other one by clipping with scissors at ground level so the spacing remains nice and even and you do not disturb the soil. Use the thinnings in salad. (this is why you planted so many! You get to sample them early). Let them grow more, until the leaves touch the other seedlings, then thin them to 3 plants, spaced around the pot. Use these larger thinnings in another salad. YUM. Let the 3 remaining grow, and you can cut them one at a time, as the pot looks crowded, leaving 2, then 1 to grow to full size. This is a container version of intensive gardening. It gives you several cuttings of lettuce and still lets the final head grow without crowding, as you clip off the competition every time it gets crowded in the pot.
