It's actually VOLUME COUNT in the DATACLAS definition.  From the (1.12) HELP 
panel: 

Use the VOLUME COUNT field to specify the maximum number of volumes you  
expect to use to store a data set in this Data Class.                    

Possible values:                                                         
                                                                         
    1 to 59 or blank  (DASD)                                             
    1 to 255 or blank (Tape)                                             
                                                                       
For example, to reserve five volumes per data set, specify:              
                                                                         
    Volume Count  . . . . . . 5       (1 to 255 or blank)                
                                                                         
End users can override the Data Class VOLUME COUNT attribute with the    
JCL DD statement, TSO ALLOCATE command, or a similar utility.

It might be due, of course, to my misunderstanding your advice. For that 
matter, where do you see any "unit count" parameter in the DATACLAS ???  I 
don't see that either in my prod system (Z/OS 1.11) or the test system LPAR 
(Z/OS 1.13) ...
