> 部活ならまだしも、サークルにまで顧問がいたら先生が何人いても足りない

the latter part is talking about how there aren't enough teachers for every
circle to have an adviser, but the "rather; better" definition of まだしも doesn't
make sense here.

It has already been established that clubs have more stature than circles for
context.

question
grammar
Use of まだしも in this sentence
Xならまだしも means "If it were [only] X, that could be coped with, but [something
more is involved]". As a translation, I'd suggest "X would be one thing, but Y
on top . . ." How about: "If it were just the clubs, that would be one thing,
but if advisers were extended to the circles as well, no matter how many
teachers there were there wouldn't be enough"
