You are counting two of the "e" letters as cees. It's more clear than most of the words on the folio. The footed "r" is written in a normal style for the time.
For the last c word, you fail to see two stray apostrophes ('), the second of which strikes the end of the top of the last c causing you to think that it is something other than a c.

I don't think the first one (top left) is a "c" either. It's probaby "e" as in "ce" or "te". It is rounded.
It is perfectly OK to throw out one of the c's because prophecy V-35 (535) is actually the 435th stanza to appear in the Nostradamus prophecies, so it's a win-win for the author of the marginalia either way.

The second range begins with a 6 ("six") so it is completely logical that it should also end with a 6 ("vi"). You need to be more observant of the details!
