Yes. If symbols point only to the thirst 64kb page of large output section we allocate "page" entries covers the section completely.

I do not consider local symbols individually at all. If a single symbol pointing to a 8k page we get one redundant entry. It is not good but acceptable. If we have more than one symbol pointing to the adjacent addresses, exact number of required GOT entries depends on the final values of these addresses. In the best case they all belong to the same final 64kb page and have the same high 16 bits. In the worst case we will need two page addresses. But to get optimal result we will have to calculate number of required GOT entries after all output section will be finalized and aligned.
