There is (was) at least one single cylinder Doxford (admittedly a demonstrator). It would not have been much use with one cylinder hung up.

'Hanging up' a unit on an engine is not that unusual and I did a short trip from Lisbon to Las Palmas with one unit of a 6 (?) cylinder GMT out of action.

I also saw photographs of an amazing crankshaft 'repair' made on a livestock carrier (or she was the). The webs either side of the broken pin were wrapped in a fashioned steel plate and she did at least one trip before the Australian authorities banned her Obviously the unit in way of the break was 'hung up'.
