A collection with only one member should work fine, although I don't know whether it has been explicitly tested. So, I don't see any reason why you should have to treat a single series as a special case.
Are you aware that the plot method can plot the columns of 2-D arrays? Any kwargs apply to all the lines. When plot does this, it makes a list of lines, not a line collection, so it is similar to looping over a set of single plot commands. There is no particular speed advantage, but it is nice and concise, if it yields what you actually want.
