I don't have a strong opinion on whether countersignature V2 should be
changed to be always an array.  Although version 2 countersignatures
were designed to be backwards compatible with the original
countersignature definition, they are to be assigned a new code-point
so I cannot see how it would technically be a breaking change with
legacy implementations.
