Yes, I think that forming a sentence on its own by adding those colons at
the end should solve any potential problems for languages with declension
system.

Nevertheless, I can only think of a problematic case where there would be
no ngettext implemented for declinable words bound with the value/numeral
placed beforehand/afterwards, but this seems to be not the case.
