The original chakra was split into millions of aspects possibly, so when you re-merge all chakra, you get the same as the original "quality-wise" it doesn't matter that there will be more or less of it. Kinda like only pieces of Kurama's chakra were enough to restore the Ten-Tails at full power, it only took some time for the missing quantity to regenerate.

when Madara absorbed the shinju(the actual tree)his power sky rocketed as in the 10 tails itself is not as powerful as the shinju

and im not actually getting the chakra thing wrong, they specifically say that you can increase the size of your chakra by training either your mind or your body

also look at Raikage. he has tailed beast chakra because of how strong he is. he could not have always had tailed beast level chakra.

they say that Chakra is the combination of your mental energies and your physical energies. created by training the mind(meditation etc)and or training the body example. if i run for an hour my body will produce friction which creates heat which when molded with mental energies become chakra. look at the Akimichi clan they eat and eat and eat then convert the energy created by said calories into chakra which increases their chakra level allowing them increased strength speed agility and allows them to alter their size

or like how when Naruto was training and developing wind release. kakashi said that Naruto has 4 times the chakra as him(his uzumaki chakra). but when Naruto was born he didn't have four times the chakra of someone like kakashi. if you look at naruto now it would likely be that his regular human chakra itself is beyond tailed beast level now. since ashura and indra had half the power of their father. so its likely that the power that Naruto inherited from ashura is the power of 4 and a half of the tailed beasts and likewise for sasuke
