Actually, someone actually counted, and there are a little over 300 Reapers in the last scene of ME2. Also, I don't think that any of the Reapers will be helping us, because as revealed in Mass Effect: Retribution, they think they are helping us. They saw potential in humanity, and decided to preserve us by making us immortal, with the problem being we don't like their kind of immortality. I always assumed something like that was going on, what with Harbinger's "We are your salvation through destruction!" comment, and now that book finally confirmed it.
