You can usually fit 1 - 6 sprockets on there. The only real difference from using a standard free-hub is the fact that the shorter free-hub body eliminates the need for dishing (and likely increases flange distance I suppose, which is also good).
....unless you push the non-drive side flange out increasing the bracing angle on this side. Then increase the non-drive side flange diameter, increasing the bracing angle still further. Seems weird.
Although it might have something to do with the fact that non-drive side spokes can loose tension due to drive disparity across the hub. This a bit (a lot) beyond my understanding though :(
