There is no such thing as a "too large" power adapter for a MacBook Pro. The Mac draws ONLY as much power as it needs, regardless of the ability of the power adapter to produce more than your MacBook Pro might need.


if using a "too small" power adapter, you may be surprised as it continues to "borrow" power from the battery if the power adapter does not supply enough. the battery may decline in level, even with that "too small" power adapter connected.


the solution is to connect the smaller power adapter and shut down your Mac completely, and allow the smaller power adapter to slowly charge up the battery again. Marginally acceptable in a pinch, but not what you want for day-to-day use.
