How many modern cars require at least 2 top offs between oil change intervals...

Page 244 of my Scion FR-S owner's manual states that 1.1 qt. of oil consumption per 600 miles is acceptable.

So to answer your question, Subaru, Subaru may require two oil top offs between intervals, technically they're ok with you having to add a quart 10x per interval.
I generally add about half a quart that's leftover from the previous change at 6k miles just to bring it up from near the low mark. That probably wouldn't be necessary if I filled it to the tippy-top though, unless filling it makes it burn faster
