Yes. You need one dot for each patch, where the distortion inside each patch is approximately constant inside a single instant. Now, handling these multiple dots in a good way, that's another story. Compare the patch size/discussion in https://publikationen.uni-tuebingen.de/xmlui/handle/10900/49...
This is very much unexplored territory, but ESO thinks so.
The ELT (https://www.eso.org/public/teles-instr/elt/) will use more lasers but the exact configuration is still work in progress, as far as I know.
