See PPCEME guidelines here and here.

Cardinal numbers (except for ONE) are tagged NUM.

Numbers can be spelled out or in numeral form. The lemma is always in written form (i.e. not in numeral form).

NUM projecting QP

Occasionally NUM projects QP on the clause level:

( (IP-MAT (CONJ og-og)
	  (NP-SBJ *pro*)
	  (VBDI gengum-ganga)
	  (PP (P 0)
	      (NP (PRO-D því-það)))
	  (NP-TMP (ONE-A einn-einn) (N-A dag-dagur))
	  (QP (NUM-N þrír-þrír))
	  (PP (P til-til)
	      (ADVP (ADV samans-samans)))

NUMP

Compound numbers are treated as they are written. If a single number is written in more words than one it projects NUMP

(ADVP (ADV nærri-nærri)
      (NP (NUMP (NUM-D tuttugum-tuttugu) (CONJ og-og) (NUM-D hundrað-hundrað))))))))

( (IP-MAT (CONJ And)
	  (NP-SBJ (NPR Noah))
	  (VBD liued)
	  (PP (P after)
	      (NP (D the) (N flood)))
	  (, ,)
	  (NP-MSR (NUMP (NUM three) (NUM hundred) (CONJ and) (NUM fifty))
		  (NS yeeres))
	  (. .))
  (ID AUTHOLD-E2-H,IX,20G.557))

( (IP-MAT (META (NP (CODE <font>) (NPR Gib.) (CODE </font>)))
	  (INTJ Yes)
	  (, ,)
	  (NP-VOC (N Sir))
	  (, ,)
	  (NP-SBJ (PRO I))
	  (MD can)
	  (VB command)
	  (NP-OB2 (NUMP (NUM Four) (NUM hundred)))
	  (. ;))
  (ID FARQUHAR-E3-H,62.566))

Fjórir menn og tuttugu

( (IP-MAT (NP-SBJ (PRO-N Þeir-þeir))
	  (BEDI voru-vera)
	  (ADVP (ADV saman-saman))
	  (NP-PRD (NUMP (NUM-N iiij-fjórir)
			(CONJP *ICH*-1))
		  (NS-N menn-maður)
		  (CONJP-1 (CONJ og-og)
			   (NUMP (NUM-N tuttugu-tuttugu))))))
