Redeem Skymiles on KE Biz - More Than One Seat?

I'm looking at redeeming Skymiles for KE biz (hopefully on an A380). I've done a LOT of random samplings of dates on DL's site. There only seems to ever be one seat available on KE per flight. Does anyone know if this is par for the course? Do they typically open more availability? I don't have any experience with KE so I'm not sure about their DL policies.

In my experience during the last few months, for transpacific flights, you are not likely to see more than one Prestige/Biz Class on KE flights using Skymiles since Delta completely restricts it. I regularly checked availability from West Coast to Seoul for over three months, and never see more than one seat any day of the week during the month of April.

I ended up booking one Prestige Class on the new 747-800 from SFO-ICN. To my surprises, the entire upper deck of the 747-800 was virtually empty! There were only four passengers! There were tons of award seats using KE miles, but just a single one using Skymiles.
