You could put the common logic in a named template that you call using
xsl:call-template and passing the number as a parameter each time.

If your XSLT 1.0 processor supports EXSLT's func:function [1], then you
have the option of making a function for the common logic.  Using an
EXSLT function would be more concise, but it's also potentially less
portable between XSLT processors.
