Have you tried node-list-filter?

(node-list-filter (lambda (snl)
                    (match-element? '("fn" ("type" "numeric"))
                                    snl))
                  (select-by-class (preced (current-node))
                                   'element))

Then you can count that list; (select-by-class) tends to have pretty
good performance, and you won't need to manually iterate over all the
<fn>s.
