I'm not sure about that. Those "all possible proofs" will be an infinite numerable set. To pick a specific proof from the set, you will need an arbitrarily large number as the index, so your few hundred lines will not be enough (assuming line sizes are finite).

I think the "plus a constant" here refers to a bound on the size of the proof. So you don't need the exact index, just a really rough upper bound. (This would, of course, be unreasonably inconvenient to check.)
