Because in both modes the amount of cars is capped at 32. So a 1 car league can have up to 32 manager/teams per tier and a 2 car league can only have 16 manager/teams per tier.
I have seen live races with 34 cars running where someone exploited a glitch to join a full league :)

Yes, the leagues are just set up that way and 17 teams in a (2car) tier happens quite frequently. But I'm not sure if the race viewer could actually manage 64 cars. Or if that would be much fun as long as overtaking isn't slightly easier or KERS becomes a recharging thing. On the other hand it should be almost impossible for anyone not leading the race to not to get DRS every lap, one way or another.
Thinking about it, 64 cars, KERS recharging 5%/lap and about 0.5seconds DRS distance could be quite interesting races actually.
