If he sizes the wire/subpanel/breakers appropriately, there is no worry or risk of turning them both on accidently. Need more info, which is why I suggested posting a pic of the panel.
Breakers are sized to protect the branch wire, not the load. For example, a 15 amp circuit can supply many outlets, and a person can plug in too many loads. The breaker will pop, but none of that is against 'code'
Same with a main panel. You could have a 200 amp service panel, add up the breakers in the panel and it could be 300, 400 or more total.
