Description
It's seems from the CCK code, that when you want to handle multiple values on your own, content.node_form.inc defaults to displaying your element only a single time. It would be great if there was a callback implemented (like _default_value) for modules that want to use CONTENT_HANDLE_MODULE.
#1
'multiple values' => CONTENT_HANDLE_MODULEin hook_widget_info() is intended to be used by widgets that are inherently multi-valued : a select list, a list of checkboxes, a gmap where you click to select locations... One instance of the widget is enough to select multiple values.Could you expand on your use case and why you need to opt-out of the default management of multiple values ?
#2
For the module I'm maintaining (http://drupal.org/project/office_hours) the drag and drop is unnecessary- it makes more sense using 7 fixed fields. I guess there might be other use cases.
#3
Should i offer a patch for this? will it be implemented?

I know this is an old issue, but another one made me find it. See #626240: CCK Pager and CONTENT_HANDLE_MODULE.
Well, I think CCK does not need to be patched. Your widget could tell CCK multiple values are managed by the widget itself, then your widget expands to 7 form elements itself.
