The properties that begin with _NET.* like the one you are asking for
here, _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS, are all defined in the Extended Window
Manager Hints (EWMH), previously known as NetWM (hence _NET).
EWMH was, I believe, a result of the combined efforts of Gnome and KDE
developers who decided they needed more portable WM hints.
CTWM doesn't support EWMH (yet).
You can compare EWMH with the existing support in CTWM for WM_HINTS
and WM_NORMAL_HINTS.
Here's a specification:

It's probably a good idea to support them in CTWM as well.
