No, it's got nothing to do with that; the question is which matzah
the "al achilat matzah" is on.  Is it on the prusah over which the
hagadah was said, or is it on the shlema.  Since we don't know, we
take a kezayit from each.  Obviously for those who eat from neither one
but from the box, there is no point in eating more than one kezayit.
