Yup, that's the idea behind it - just the one booster when I need slightly more thrust. Turns out this is way too powerful and poorly designed, but the great thing was that it's using the stock engines and gimbal code with a slight increase in gimbal range courtesy of FAR. I did make something similar to this in 0.90 but with Space Shuttle Engines - it's great I can do it with stock now.
If you find that 2 boosters is too much thrust, you can always change the thrust limiter when constructing the rocket. That way you won't have to worry about asymmetry.
Reminds me of the Atlas rocket, it had a configuration with only one booster. http://imgur.com/U9k0cUd

True, but 2 boosters costs more than 1. That and asymmetry is challenging and fun.
