Well, if you're talking sweeping, then a pair is as small as it gets (2 people, one oar each). To get bigger, there are fours (four people, one oar each) and eights (eight people, one oar each) But it you're sculling, then you can have a single (one person, two oars), a double (two people, two oars each), or a quad (four people, two oars each).
In rowing, a boat propelled by oars is normally called a shell. Based on how many people are using the boat, and eight has eight rowers, a four has four rowers with one oar each and a quad has four rowers with 2 oars each. A pair has two rowers with one oar each while a double has two rowers with two oars each. A single has one rower with two oars in it.
