Since count() is an XPath function, you could also do
<block start-indent="{count(tab) * 20}mm">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</block>
or even (more readably)
<block start-indent="{count(tab)} * 20mm">
<xsl:value-of select="." />

It depends a bit on the exact format of the input. If you have:
<text><tab/><tab/>hello world!</text>
Then all you would need to achieve the desired result is something like:
<xsl:template match="text">
<block>
<xsl:attribute name="start-indent">
<xsl:value-of select="count(tab) * 20" /><xsl:text>mm</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</block>
</xsl:template>
HTH!
