I think one table with a varying amount of data is sufficient for the
vacuum test. I think with more number of tables there is a greater
chance of variation. We have previously used multiple tables in one of
the tests because of the Truncate operation (which uses
DropRelFileNodesAllBuffers that takes multiple relations as input) and
that is not true for Vacuum operation which I suppose you are testing
here.
