Math with wordcount output

Hi

I know very little about unix.
I have a unix code (which I'm running in geektools) which gives me the word count of a pages document. However, the pages document innately contains 522 words of superfluous "Ipsem Lorem..." text which are included in the count.
How would I go about subtracting 522 from the word count expressed by my code, which goes something like:

gunzip path/filename.pages | cat index.xml | xsltproc path/index.xsl | wc -w

Thank you!
