It's quite unlikely to see such a liberal use of numbers from an English native speaker, but this is a somewhat popular way of describing similar situations in Russian (and probably some other languages).

Using numbers in this fashion is a way of specifying the perfect condition while simultaneously letting the listener/reader know that the situation is either less or more than ideal.

Plus, it adds a subtle comical effect. Puts some supererogatory emphasis on things, so to speak :)

Combo x3!
