Bigger number = longer plane. They start counting from 7 because the MAX 7 was the successor to the 737-700.

Thank you for answering, especially when so many doenvoted. Now I know!

It does appear that Boeing tries to get away with "you've approved it for MAX <x>, so just approve it already for MAX <y>".
