I think that is kind of accurate. In the anime (this could be just an animation fad, so please take it lightly, as the manga does not have this situation) when Jotaro goes against Lovers and Steely Dan. Just when Lovers is about to enter Jotaro's ear, we can see Star Platinum grab Lovers out of mid-air while ''time flows a bit slower. ''This could go to your point where Star Platinum's precision could be small time stops. But that didn't stop time. It just made it a bit slower. So that could mean that he can make time go slower instead of "multiple small time stops". A small time stop would be something that happens against Josuke (taking advantage that this was just animated a few days ago) where Crazy Diamond tries to punch Star Platinum, Jotaro stops time, and barely get's out of there, and I quote: "I stopped time for half a second." Other than that, Jotaro did not know that Star Platinum could stop time until he stated that The World and SP are "similar types of Stands". Then again, it could be the naturalism of understanding his Stand and not using the full mecanic, but just small demostrations. In either case, i'm just trying to help clear out some doubts.
