simcha613 – Check out the Dirshu M”B on ???? ??”? footnote 8, they have a whole write-up on this. In nutshell: One should not hold more than three (or really, two and a half) matzos when making the brachos, but one must eat two kezaysim from the matzos that the brachos were made on. Therefore, R’ Moshe, R’ Bentzion Abba Shaul, R’ Elyashiv, and R’ Nissin Karelitz say one should give every person two or three (again, really two and a half) matzos to make their own brachos on, or two or three matzos for every two or three people to be yotzei together. However, R’ Shlomo Zalman and R’ Chaim Kanievsky say it is good enough to give every person a small piece of the top and middle matza, and they can eat the rest of two kezaysim from other matza (however, the Brisker Rov held that one should eat from matzos that were on the table during the haggadah to to “lechem onei”).
