In theory you are correct, but I don't think they are doing that yet. We had a
discussion of the signaling protocol and someone posted that they had done
research and found that there was only one satellite illuminating a cell at a
time. IIRC this was when the paper came out on using starlink signals for
positioning.
As they launch more satellites and get the in-space routing up and running, I
expect that they will change that at some point.
it is an interesting question.
