If 'vous' is formal, masculine and single, then is there no agreement required? Thanks.

Bonjour Ian,
That's right. Whatever vous stands for is what determines what agreement is needed.
Vous = Monsieur Martin = no agreement
Vous = Monsieur et Madame Martin = plural agreement
Vous = Christine et Sandrine = plural feminine agreement

Bonjour Orietta !
It's the same explanation:
Vous = Monsieur Martin = "vous vous êtes caché"
Vous = Madame Martin = "vous vous êtes cachée"
Vous = Monsieur et Madame Martin = "vous vous êtes cachés"
Vous = Christine et Sandrine = "vous vous êtes cachées"
À bientôt !
