Answer me this:

If you replace abc with xby have you made one replacement or two? i.e. have you replaced a with x and c with y or have you replaced abc with xby?

Now look back at what I said, it is not possible to know how many replacements are performed in function mode and the number is the number of matches of the search expression. You should be able to connect the rest of the dots yourself.
