If you cannot use recursion ( I love it :)) ),
try this stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl =
"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version = "1.0"
>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:call-template name="printBR">
<xsl:with-param name="number" select="2"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:text>===</xsl:text>
<xsl:call-template name="printBR">
<xsl:with-param name="number" select="4"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name = "printBR" >
<xsl:param name="number"/>
<xsl:variable name="brSet" >
<xsl:text><![CDATA[<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>]]></xsl:text>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes"
select="substring($brSet,1,$number*4)"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
