From my knowledge of U.S. C^3 systems, I'd say it'd be very hard for
some sort of accident to launch anything less than a squadron
at a time, otherwise you have to override the 'default' 
configuration.  For a long time, you *couldn't* launch less than
a squadron at a time.  For those who don't know, a squadron
is composed of 50 missiles, 3 squadrons to a wing.  But I don't
really find the possibility of an accident leading to an actual
launch and detontation very large at all, for that you'd need 2
votes and the EAM, and all that stuff is built to be failsafe
anyways.  I'd think that if we ever did decide to launch a strike,
it'd be hard for everything to get all the right info, especially
in a nuclear environment, to authorize and authenticate properly.
