Yes, definitely. Even when there are more than 1 or 2 female characters that I like and want to write about, they usually don't have the sort/amount of interactions that would launch ships.
Kind of off-topic of the 'little black dress' but another thing with the fewer numbers of main female characters is that one has less choice of pairing types that might hit one's buttons (e.g. villain/hero, or the best buddies).
For me, it's really only in writing minor characters (with lots of headcanon) and original fiction that I feel like I get to work with the kind of yuri pairings that interest me most.
