"Wenn ein Begasungszyklus mit anschließender Regeneration gestartet wird, werden 2 Zyklusnummern generiert, da die Regeneration im Gasgenerator als separater Zyklus gezählt wird. Der anschließende Begasungszyklus hat in diesem Fall eine *um zwei erhöhte Zyklusnummer*"

"higher by a factor of two"??

agree  David Willett: And "higher by a factor of 2" is certainly wrong. That would indicate that the cycle number is doubled rather than raised by 2.

the number of the preceding cyclus plus two


Explanation:
that is how I understand the meaning, e.g. if the cycle number is 302, then the next generated one is 304, adn the number of the regeneration cycle is 303
