Assuming all continues to go well for her, her body should self-regulate as far as milk output goes, so long as she gets proper nutrition. She'll make 'enough', but not so much as to become engorged.
I just had a situation that was really the opposite problem. I had a Mom nursing a singleton. For the first few days, she put out more milk than was needed and her teats became engorged. I had to express them for 2 days and after that she never produced more than was needed. So their body can produce more, or less, depending on the need.
I've also had a 5 pound Mama nurse 6 babies with no problem. At her peak, she was eating about 3 times her normal amount. Just make sure your girl eats well, drinks plenty of water and gets her calcium and and things should be fine in the milk department.
