No.

One of the rules of SVA (Subject Verb Agreement) states that when two subjects are connected with an 'and', the verb used is always plural. The exceptions to this being color, food and math.

i.e) While you say "Matt and Henry are walking", you would say "Black and white is what I wear to work on thursdays". or "Bacon and eggs is my favourite breakfast". or "two and two is four".

There are no other exceptions to the "'and' rule". Since 'cup and saucer' does not fit into any of the three exception catergories, the will be treated as separate nouns, and not as one word.

Yes, "cup" and "saucer" are singular nouns when referring to a single item. If you have multiple cups and saucers, then they would be plural.
