Sorry, but I disagree ..... the precision is maintained when you join units in PPing. That is providing you are precise in making the units and then joining them together. Believe me, I have done a LOT of paper piecing, including two Farmers Wife Samplers and a Dear Jane.
It's quite common in PPing to have sub units that you have to join up as many times, you have no option in doing it any other way.
Agree with all the others .... the only way you can do this in PPing is with three units. Two of the units will be the four small tris together. The third will be the four smalls plus the one large tri. Then add the additional two units to the one with the large tri included.
Once you've done a few you'll develop your own routine and will find it will all flow quite easily towards the bigger project.
