Note that Vermont law doesn't require a certain number of seats at all. In fact, ten years ago there was a big issue about the creation of the six Senator Chittenden district; there was a proposal to have that district instead be split in half with each half electing three Senators.
Also, JohnnyLongtorso, VT Republicans actually suggested your proposal ten years ago as well, but it didn't find much support. Note as well that the VT Constitution requires a pretty strict adherence to county boundaries (where presumably, if a 15 district map crosses county lines too much then there may be a legal obligation to increase/decrease the number of districts to minimize the split counties.
Hypothetically, they could even have a single district covering the entire state!
