I've done 2-3 mice at a time for snakes that steadfastly refuse to eat rats. It's not really the type of prey that is important and long as the quantity is sufficient. Nearly all of my ball pythons get small rats (average about 80-100g) Only the biggest girls get medium rats (over 120g) once in a while. I don't worry about the 10-15% by weight guideline, I go by what the snake looks like.
(in my opinion, most people feed their ball pythons too much. Mice are fine)
