Previously 3 cycles was thought to be the best possible. You can continue draining King Boo for a while after he starts fleeing back to Bowser, and knowing exactly where he's going and what he's going to do (see: TASing) lets you take full advantage of that. Of course, this still requires King Boo to make some really dumb decisions (see: the end of Cycle 2), so don't expect to ever see a 2 cycle in real time. After a while it seems he just goes invincible and flies back to Bowser with no way to stop him.
I don't think 1 cycle is possible due to the aforementioned issue, but I'd love to be proven wrong.
