      num-variable        =  1*DIGIT

Why limit numbered variables to a single digit?

They aren't. That construct means a <num-variable> consists of at least one digit, with no upper bound on the number of DIGITs it can contain. If it was limited to a single digit the ABNF construct would be 1DIGIT.
See RFC 2234 sections 3.6 and 3.7.
