anything more than 1, can be considered a few.
Yes, the term few can refer to any quantity more than one, however it is reserved for those situations where the quantity referred to is 'relatively less than what is typically expected for the situation.'
Few votes were cast.
There were few survivors.
...Few and far between.
And when you get right picky and a quantity for 'a few' needs to agreed upon, the traditional value is 8.
'Wherein few, that is eight souls, were saved by water.' 1 Peter 3:20
One is one, a couple is two, some is three and a few is four. Anymore than that is a bunchor a whole bunch.

[2012] [HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?] [Mississippi LAW JOURNAL] [VOL. 82:6] [pg. 1101] ... (22) Another case the same year held that employees could be docked fifteen minutes of pay because it took that much time to get to their stations from the time clock. (23) However, the Court noted that if the time difference were seconds or even a few minutes, it would likely be a de minimis amount. (24)
[pg. 1102] [MISSISSIPPI LAW JOURNAL] [VOL. 82:6] it states that (31) "In Gaffney v. Cummings, the Court held, "Deviations no greater than 8% (4.8 minutes) are to be deemed de minimis." (32) This standard has since been loosened to allow for deviations no greater than 10% (6 minutes), (33) though the... [2012] [HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?] [pg. 1103] ...Court maintains that de minimis exceptions should only be allowed in "unavoidable" instances.(34)
So... anything more than 7 minutes would be deemed more than a few minutes
RODRIGUEZ v. UNITED STATES Opinion of the Court
573 U. S. ___ (2014). Compare, e.g., United States v. Morgan, 270 F. 3d 625, 632 (CA8 2001) (postcompletion delay of "well under ten minutes" permissible), with, e.g., State v. Baker, 2010 UT 18, ¶13, 229 P. 3d 650, 658 (2010) ("[W]ithout additional reasonable suspicion, the officer must allow the seized person to depart once the purpose of the stop has concluded.")
So... the threshold mark would be under 10 minutes is a few minutes.
