I think it depends on the individual -- if they want to ride a solo century, they will. But just because you can ride a century solo, doesn't mean you should, unless you really want to -- otherwise it's a long, lonely ride.
You would be he one to answer. Speed, strngth keep arising here but what I'd like to know is, since you have done both:
IS doing a century on a single more glorious than doing it on the tandem? Are you more proud of your efforts on the single over the tandem? Or is it the same glorious feeling? Are you more proud to say you have done a century on the single, or just as proud to say tandem too?
