The 'design' is not related to the 'code' minimum number of SA circuits within a kitchen.
Designers, homeowners, and electrical contractors are 'free' to install more than the 'code' minimum.
A twist on this is the required 120/20 amp circuit for the bathroom receptacles. All bath recepts can be on that one circuit, providing they are the only thing on that circuit. IMHO, having a GFCI recept in a first floor powder room, and feeding all the other bath recept's is a very poor 'design' but it is 'code.
