Bash Guard numbers...

When a bash guard says (for example) 34t. Is that the size of the bash guard (same size as a 34t ring) or is that the number of teeth in the middle ring that it should be covering? :?

Could this Saint 46t(!) crankset be easily converted to a double (22/32) and bash with standard 104 BCD bits
