Editor: I'm not so sure that it can't mean "amount".
1) GF often "explicitly excludes" certain usages that it deems incorrect, but which in fact have substantial usage.
2) New Century defines 数目字 as "same as 数字" and its sense #3 of 数字 is "quantity; amount".
3) There's this quote from Mao Dun's "Midnight":
七八十号经纪人的一百多助手以及数不清的投机者,造成了雷一样的数目字的嚣声,不论谁的耳朵都失了作用。
"Seventy or eighty brokers, together with their hundred-odd assistants and innumerable speculators, produced between them such a deafening pandemonium of shouting and bidding that no ordinary ear could have made anything of it."
