You can't do maths in NavMgr parameters because the parser is not sophisticated enough to handle it. Remember this is not a C# execution environment, but a parsed XML language designed for a specific purpose.
You basically have 2 choices (AFAIK): Create a custom ObjectLoader that can navigate the Pages collection in the context (probably your best bet) or you can use some pre-execute code. Note that your pre-ex code will need to track its own position in the list with a counter using separate templates tied to the various levels of your nav, since pre-ex code will fire before nav mgr code is processed. Note also that "loops" in nav mgr are not "expanded" so you can't do pre-ex counting inside a <foreach>. HTH.
