No, you could not use just any number.  The number says that the next N 
lines, asterisked or not, are conditions and that the action line 
follows them.

Actually, to be precise, it seems to identify the next N conditions,
rather than to treat the next N lines as conditions.

(By experiment using a recipe containing:
        :2
        a\
        .*a
        b
        c
which files into file "c" and not "b".)

Cheers,
