I made the point about time to show how you can prove the entropy exists in the absence of large N. It is not exclusive to that however.
I was not making a point about the OP question as much as clearing up a statement that entropy is a strictly bulk property when it isn't. Unlike many thermodynamic definitions entropy is actually defined the same way on both a macro and micro scale.
Thus why I called it a nitpick.
