No.  The <group> element is only for defining named model groups or
referencing them.  Just put the min on the sequence:

<complexType name="data">
 <sequence>
  <element name="number" type="integer"/>
  <sequence minOccurs="0">
   <element name="anotherNumber" type="integer"/>
   ...
 </sequence>
</complexType>
