Too few FFs per day

My 15week old is on 4 feeds of 180ml a day (720ml total). This is 1 feed less than the formula manufacturer recommends (ie 900ml), but she is putting on weight well and is moving up the percentile chart, so I'm not worried.

However, at 4 months, she is supposed to move up to 5 feeds of 210ml a day (ie 1050ml).

I'm not going to start giving her the extra milk just cos the manufacturer recommends it, obviously, but when she starts wanting the extra feed, how do I get her back onto 5 feeds rather than just increasing the size of her current 4 feeds? I'm really concerned that if we're not careful, in a few months time, she'll be on 4 HUGE feeds, rather than 5 or 6 more moderate feeds.

would you not be starting to wean by then some of the feeds anyway? (sorry I am not very helpful, it was just a thought).
