Isn't stretch-and-draw-page called for all pages, even for single-staff systems? At least, I couldn't find any if in Page_breaking::make_pages to condition on the number of staves in the systems. That function reserves 10% of the space and evenly distributes it to all the spaces between systems (which is hardly noticable if you have 10 systems or so, but leaves a lot of space at the bottom if you have only one system).
