Hmm. Maybe, but that seems odd to me. The '2' would only apply if it was paginate, so it's mere presence would indicate that that your fragments required a control to see them all (which is mainly how paginate differs from fragment). So, I don't know how it would be better than 'continue: fragments 2;'. And if it's only advantage over 'continue: fragments; n-up: 2;' is saving some space, it doesn't seem worth it. Having a separate property seems more clear, and allows that property to be set independently.
