well, if the count range is low, you could always
roll out each possible count in the regular expression.
my $patt = '(s\ds\d)';
$var =~
/
( 01 $patt )
| ( 02 $patt $patt )
| ( 03 $patt $patt $patt )
...
/
if you go beyond 99, then probably not, but if the max
count is low enough, you could do it that way.
you did say speed wasn't important...
