I use a single British National brood box with a queen excluder. It is rare
for a queen to need more room than this provides, but without the excluder I
find that they will make the nest more vertical in shape by using the first
super. (...and before someone tells me that this will not produce enough
bees to get a decent crop, have a look at the picture here:
