Suppose I want to say "a book or two" in German
Ich werde morgen ein oder zwei Bücher kaufen.
Is this okay? I'm wondering since "ein" doesn't go with "Bücher". If not, how could I say this phrase?

this is 100% correct.
You might as well say "ich werde morgen ein Buch oder zwei Bücher kaufen", but usually you just leave the singular out like you did.
If there's more than one, you use the plural.
If it is not exactly one, then you use the plural. (Be aware, that *kein* can stand for 0 or *not one*, so it can demand singular or plural.)
