At the moment, two empty rows are created for data entry when 'unlimited' is selected for 'Number of values'.

I think it's counter intuitive to create two rows, when in many cases only one row will be required - is there a way I can change the default to one row?

See this answer for a solution:

/**
 * Implements hook_form_BASE_FORM_ID_alter().
 */
function MYMODULE_form_node_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  $field_name = 'field_YOURFIELD';

  if (empty($form[$field_name])) {
    return;
  }

  $field_language = $form[$field_name]['#language'];
  $max_delta = $form[$field_name][$field_language]['#max_delta'];
  unset($form[$field_name][$field_language][$max_delta]);
}

This problem is not in field collection table. The root of the problem is the core module field collection. And in the latest version you can not set a default value on the field collection field on the node. You can have default values on each of the fields inside the field collection, so that will be added when a new row is added.

In order to have custom default values, you have to use the hook_form_alter and do the logic.
