Hmmm, "3 is a couple", or perhaps just a Freudian slip.Typically, 2's still a couple. Several remains more than two people, things, etc. by definition; not an unspecified many nor large number. Unsupported by definition, 3 inexplicably pops up in some views or interpretations of several, e.g., even a particularly wishy-washy attempted contract.
Look above--link to Meriam-Webster. Couple = 2 or 3. Several = 4 or more.
