Yes, it is idiomatic. I added two words to make it better understandable.The meaning is: do not take more, than the quantity you can handle.
Such sentences one can translate directly (such as "Do not slaughter more, than the quantity you can salt".) and/or by an zquivalent idiomatic phrase.
I have no idea of how one says that in English.
