In theory a single cylinder anything has the potential of being more efficient because 1) there's less friction and 2) there's less surface area to absorb heat from the combustion mix. In other words, if you need a 1, 3, 5 or 7 liter engine, just make one 1, 3, 5 or 7 liter cylinder.

Although I know it's not that easy.
