Why not simply
  <xsl:param name="number.chapter" select="1"/>
?

Well an XSLT stylesheet module is an XML document so you can process and 
output it using another XSLT stylesheet but the whole point of (top 
level) xsl:param elements is that the XSLT processor provides an API to 
set those parameters before you run a transformation. So instead of 
trying to write a stylesheet to manipulate transform.xsl before you use 
it in a transformation you should simply use the API of your XSLT 
processor to set those parameters as needed.
