" Scrolls and potions whose base price is more than 250 gp, but less than 1,000 gp, take 8 hours to create, just like any other magic item. The character must spend the gold at the beginning of the construction process. Regardless of the time needed for construction,
"" a caster can create no more than one magic item per day.""
This process can be accelerated to 4 hours of work per 1,000 gp in the item's base price (or fraction thereof) by increasing the DC to create the item by 5.
The caster can work for up to 8 hours each day."
Does this 'one item per day' rule apply to making L1 potions and scrolls?
Yes. It sucks, but that is the way it is.
Fractional accounting for magic item creation is a reasonable house rule, IMHO.
This is something we've discussed in our group many times because we all hate the rule. But we haven't yet decided to house rule multiple potions. Although if I pushed it with my witch, I think my GM would allow it.
What makes this confusing for me is the next sentence "Regardless of the time needed for construction, a caster can create no more than one magical item per day. This process can be accelerated to 4 hours of work per 1,000 gp in the item's base price (or fraction thereof) by increasing the DC to create the item by +5."

This only applies to things that cost more than 1,000 gp. With this rule you could make a 2,000 gp item in 1 day. It has no relevance to items costing 1,000 or less.
