awk is great for simple off-the-cuff things like this. Testing on a bunch of 3-line files:

Code:
wc -l * | awk '$2=="total" { $1-=A; print ; next } { $1-=2; A+=2; print }'

1 a1c
1 a2c
1 a3c
1 a4c
4 total

$

For lines with 'total' in them, it subtracts the A variable from the first column, prints, and skips to the next line.

Otherwise, it skips that and executes the next section, which subtracts 2 from the first column, adds 2 to the A variable, then prints.
