I'm pretty sure the writers said he did plan for certain fairy tales/plot devices existing like the Maidens... they just didn't flesh out the Maidens until later... so it was entirely possible on that front that there was a greater power than just "normal human" Penny could have been made for.

That said the other evidence cobined with that does make it far less likely.
