I'd answer by saying that "mode of issuance" applies specifically to the resource you are cataloguing. You are not cataloguing the series (though possibly you *could*) you are cataloguing a monograph which happens to be issued as part of a series. RDA 13.1.1 says that mode of issuance is "whether a resource is issued in one or more parts, the way it is updated, and its intended termination". This resource (this particular title) is only issued as a single volume, no future volumes planned so I would say it's a single unit. If you're cataloguing a series, say where they're not given separate volume titles, then this would be different.
