You can put 240 seats into a one-aisle aircraft, but it will only work for the long flight market. The loading and unloading times are too long for efficient short to medium hop usage. This is why the 757-300 turned out to be a niche plane -- efficient for 2000 to 3000 mile stage lengths, only. Thus, Boeing's MMA being two-aisle.
