Hurray!
Oh wait, there's more.

I'm not finding a Calibre numWords() function, so I assume you have defined your own numWords() function as a Calibre template language function? I base that on the use of the word 'function'.
(Which is different than FFF's numWords metadata entry.)
I don't know much of anything about Calibre template language, honestly, I can't help there.
Going in entirely the opposite direction, if you've magicked FFF's
replace_metadata system into making word ranges for you, FFF is behaving as designed--
replace_metadata, et al only operate on individual stories, not on anthologies. The correct answer would be a list of different ranges like that.
In that case, I'd suggest looking at using a Calibre Custom column 'built from other columns' that operates on a read word count column using Calibre template language.
Then it would affect all books, not just FFF downloads.
