I suspect most of them are single connection.

Don't.

You'd be creating an initiator that violates the protocol spec.  You'd
have no reason to expect that to work at all.  Many targets will check
this and call it a protocol violation (you may end up with the
connection terminated).  Some may not notice but may end up doing the
wrong thing.
