Pandas version checks

[x] I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.
Reproducible Example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame([(30, 10, 10), (20, 20, 20), (10, 30, 30)], columns=list('ABC'))
df.plot(subplots= [('A','B')],kind="bar", stacked=True, title=["A&B","C", "Needs another title despite no title here, removing this will error"])
print(df)
# print(pd.show_versions())
plt.show()
Issue Description
df.plot() has a hard coded check to make sure there are the same number of titles when using with the "subplots" parameter, however subplots allows for multiple columns to be represented on one plot, so there are scenarios where the number of plots is less than the check for the number of titles
Expected Behavior
You shouldn't need to purposefully make empty titles up to the number of columns, the check should be run on the number of subplots
