I'm not sure if it is necessary but it does sound like fun (if you're me anyway). You could check the number of arguments by counting the number of commas and the number of open brackets without a closing bracket. If number of open brackets is 1, then count the commas, otherwise ignore the commas. E.g. the number of commas counted in the above expression would be 1, so there are 2 parameters total.
