I've used a database which used the single procedure and another one
which used the multiple procedure, when just one MOC was found. 
So, you have to look in the desciption of the CMISE user how
he/she/it
will handle the situation - or try it.

I can't say the following is generally true, but I assume that one 
policy for those situation is: if you ask for a single MOC then the 
single procecure is used. In case you don't know the number of
returned
MOCs when sending the m-get-request (e.g. when using filtering) the 
multiple procedure is used. The latter makes it easier for the
algorithm used for creating m-get-response.

Sorry for this weak answer, but these are my experiences.
