Yeah, that could be improved. The point is that while we know the number of
edits, that not necessarily is the number of messages. One edit != one message.

We may reasonably assume that if there was one edit, it was one message. But if
there's a second edit, we don't know if that's some amendment of that message,
or a new message, or what. Hence any counting we might do is not quite right
and thus came about this one/several distinction. It could be easily changed to
999, if that is more appropriate for the translators (as a quick fix). Or the
message text could just ignore $1 altogether and always use the plural
("messages").

Some day I guess I'll have to sit down and re-think the way these messages are
constructed and assembled.
