Yes, which is perfectly fine for a short time if all you want is to compact to one file for some reason.
I run min_compaction_threshold = 2 on one system here with SSD. No problems with the more aggressive disk utilization on the SSDs from the extra compactions, reducing disk space is much more important. Note that this is a treshold per bucket of similar sized sstables. Not the total number of sstables, so a treshold of 2 will not give you one big file.
