planting herbs in containers

I'm new at gardening and was wondering when you use a pot about 6 inches, how many individual plants should you pot in there? I know it depends on the plant and all. I tried planting parsley last year and allowed only 4 seeds to germinate in there. I was trying to loosely follow the directions given by various gardening books and the seed packet.

This is what my parsley pot looked like last year:

I think it looks a bit bare. Should I add a few more seeds for this year's parsley and when would it be too much and cause overcrowding?
