There is nothing that will stop you from having an even number of mons (including 2). You just run the chance of getting into a split brain scenario. As long as you aren't planning to stay in that scenario, I don't see a problem with it. I have 3 mons in my home cluster and I've had to remove one before leaving me with 2 for a few hours while I re-provisioned the third and nothing funky happened.
Most ways to deploy a cluster allow you to create the cluster with 3+ mons at the same time (inital_mons). What are you doing that only allows you to add one at a time?
