You want to leave it up to the vehicles to keep you safe, good luck, you’re not going to win.
Re how often I see 2-3 across on the shoulder, all I can say is I’m on that road almost everyday since I live and ride out here, and my perception is it happens quite a bit.

If a vehicle comes on to the shoulder riding single file isn't going to save you, you want to be as safe as possible stay off 22x and ride indoors. The shoulder is at least 6 feet wide possibly more, I can ride two abreast and be 2 feet from the white line. Lots of people I see riding single file are just as close to the white line as those riding two abreast, drivers get upset about it and make a way bigger deal of it than it is.
