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.

Right, of course- my mistake.
