It's certainly possible to make Android request N IPv6 addresses via

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...
