I am confident that neither Chuck nor Hiro would assign multiple
sets of measure numbers to, for instance, an open solo section,
even though the music is played multiple times. If the solo section
is just a simple repeat, each measure would get one set of numbers.
Even if a solo section is not open, but repeated a set number of
times (say, 3Xs), I very much doubt that Chuck or Hiro would assign
three sets of numbers to that section. But perhaps I'm mistaken, in
which case I'm sure they will correct me.
The question then arises: what do you do if the solo section has
multiple endings? Often, in solo sections, you'll keep taking the
first ending every time, until the cue to go on, when you take the
"Last X Only" second ending. Would either Chuck or Hiro assign two
sets of numbers to that solo section, one corresponding to "every
time but the last time" and another corresponding to "last time -
going on"?
Normally, only one set of numbers, but I have encountered a few
situations where I have found it useful (to me) to use two. If I
have an AABA, 32 measure repeated solo section that, for reasons of
space saving, has its first A section written as 8 measures with a
repeat (with or without 1st and 2nd endings), I will use two sets of
numbers for that A section, even though it is only written once. To
my ear, there are 16 measures there so, when I get to B, it's measure
17, not 9. I can accept arguments to the contrary, but that's the
way I do it, and I am at least consistent in my practice.
I have also saved space on one part where there is a simple repeat of
a solo section, but other instruments have a variety of entrances
throughout the two choruses. Those parts that require 64 measures to
appear on the page are numbered consecutively, while the simple solo
section can comfortably, even more efficiently, have 32 measures with
two sets of numbers. (Can't do that with linked parts!) Assuming
conventional form with the solo starting at 33, it is then
sufficiently clear to say, "Take it from 41, or 73."
On the other hand, if it is a simple repeated chorus, I am
comfortable with one set of numbers. "Take it from 65, second time."

If you want to use 33, I believe you need to put both 1 and 17 to
the
first measure. Do you not think?
This is interesting, since you seem to come from the same music
area as Darcy, yet you disagree...
