YC is still an order of a magnitude smaller than YC. 200 startups per year, so maybe 600 founders at the max. Even if YC is trying to build in exclusivity, there's much to be gained before they hit Stanford's scale.
Also, I don't think it will be that hard to scale advice for their startups. All that's needed is to add more partners. Although this might complicate their org/management structure.
