Can only one person count - or, for example, two? If two, the problem of stopping counting is easily solved if they go in different directions and stupidly count. It doesn't even need to be on/off.

You can't see the whole picture.
That's what was missing from the initial condition. Now the problem is completely clear. I'm off to solve it.

I think it's one. With two it's easy. We leave one person and count in a circle before him. Or two people count in opposite directions, then the results are added up.
 
Yeah. We think.
 
Is the number of passes limited?

I don't think so, but you want to have the optimum solution.
 
And maybe the number of horses/wagons is known to be even/even?

Switch on all the torches. Measure the current consumption of the torch. Measure the current consumption of all the torches. Divide the total current by the current of one torch :))))
