You don't need to "abuse" PercentRepeats - there's a dedicated functionality:

{ c'1~ | \startMeasureCount c'~ | c'~ | c'~ | c'~ \stopMeasureCount | c'~ | c' }

\layout {

    \Staff
    \consists #Measure_counter_engraver
  }
}

Unfortunately i don't know where it's documented, i only found
examples in regtests (input/regression/measure-counter.ly,
input/regression/measure-counter-broken.ly)

There are these examples, and there are two doc snippets:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/snippets/repeats#repeats-numbering-groups-of-measures

and

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/snippets/contexts-and-engravers#contexts-and-engravers-centered-measure-numbers

(which probably constitutes an "abuse" of the Measure_counter_engraver!)
