I'm confused by this example. How does the msgid look like in the po-file?

msgid "item"
msgid_plural "items"

Like that?

If so, then that's a bad example, as it's basically the same as concatenating
number + "item"
The number placeholder should be included in the translatable string, so the
msgid looks like this:

msgid "one item"
msgid_plural "%s items"

Because the translator can then actually make it sound natural in their own
language - perhaps the language needs an article before the number, or a suffix
to the number, both of which would be impossible to do with the original
example.
