Those variables can't be used outside the xsl:when or xsl:otherwise, as 
you noticed. You're just thinking the wrong way around. This is what you 
want:

<xsl:variable name="numberdisplayed">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="data/merchant/customer">
      <xsl:value-of select="count(data/merchant/customer)"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:value-of select="count(data/merchant/orders"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
