The most straightforward way is probably with a substitution function.


\version "2.22.2"

\layout {
   \context {
     \Staff
     \consists #Measure_counter_engraver
   }
}

repeatPercentWithCount =
#(define-music-function (count music) (index? ly:music?)
    #{ \startMeasureCount \repeat percent #count { #music } 
\stopMeasureCount #})

{
   \repeatPercentWithCount 5 {
     c4 c c c
   }
}
