The situation described by the thread starter doesn't sound like a typical BG attack though...unless they commonly use alot of fleets on one target (been out of the loop, but doesn't sound efficient to me) as was the point of the thread.

Sending a "kill/scare" fleet and a pod fleet is another issue entirely; however I don't think this is the scenario described in the original post..but I do see your point.
