Attacking Obito was the main plan. Attacking Madara was only the back-up plan(in case they fail and Madara gets revived). That's why Hashirama and Tobirama needed max clone in order to attack Madara directly the moment he revives himself(with the max power possible while maintaining the barrier). Minato didn't need to attack Madara though since he knew he could reach Obito directly because he already had the marking. That's why using the max capacity of clone to attack Madara wasn't needed, since he could have reached Obito(the main plan) without too much efforts and stop him(especially in the state he was)
I mean I agree that he only needed one, my idea was that the amount made depends on the prowess of that particular jutsu, being kage bushin, for example, naruto could use multiple clones at a young age, but it didn't mean he was more powerful than someone who could only make one. Which is why I wouldn't be surprised if minato could only make one. I just though it was sort of implied when they where all making clones, but I could be wrong.
