You can try instructing the rule to create very small subnets (eg: /32 or /31) and get 1 IP. I remember there was an issue with subnets sized /32 which would not allow to get 1 IP but I don't remember if this bug is still there. Let me know if you try and if the bug is still there we should open an issue and fix it.
