Oops, the "2pc" parameter itself isn't working. The abtraction should be, "numset 2pc x" ("x" names the preset parameter field, which must agree with the "preset" objects.) So make a "numset lfa x", store to a preset and enjoy. I'll fix my copy for the next release...
No limit to the number of args to "pack" etc, except that you'll go insane after about 30.

I'm not a total newbie -- I've worked with Max from time to time, and now I'm starting to learn Pd. I haven't been able to quite grasp what's going on in the preset storage/recall structure in 1.poly.synth.pd, which is supplied with the program.
I've added an LFO to the synth voice, created a new parameter called numset lfa (lfo amplitude) in the main window (by copying and renaming numset 2pc), and added an extra 0 argument to various pack objects so as to send my lfa value to the voices. That part works. But the lfa parameter setting is not being stored in the presets. I tried adding the line
list lfa-in 0
to one of the preset .txt files, but Pd simply deletes that when it saves the preset. Suggestions appreciated!
Also, since I may want to add many more parameters, is there an upper limit to the number of arguments/inputs in a pack object?
Thanks in advance.
