I find it hard to believe that Roddenberry would have to resort design "rules" to invalidate FJ's work. He could just have simply said, "That was a marketing thing, and those ships aren't 'real' in the Trek universe." No if's ands or rules.
Besides, in retrospect I think all the one and three nacelled ships look fugly, and I'd be just as glad to see them go.

Or not.
I dont generally care for the "frying pan" look of single nacelled ships, though there are some exceptions- Masao's Predator and ravenstar's Douglas class cruisers come to mind. Nothing canon(or even onscreen) though.
