It's certainly possible to make Android request N IPv6 addresses via DHCPv6, and not accept the offer if it is offered fewer than N addresses. But that only really makes sense if there's a generally-agreed upon minimum value of N. I'd be happy to work with people on an Internet draft or other standard to define a minimum value for N, but I fear that it may not possible to gain consensus on that.
You need as many as you need. Request them. Worry about it if you don't get them. This is exactly what happens when N=1, BTW. A DHCPv6 server is almost certainly not going to have an upper limit that significantly crimps your style...
