<xsl:template match="tag">
  <xsl:variable name="x" select="count(preceding::tag) + count(preceding::tag[total]) + 1" />
  <xsl:value-of select="$x"/>
  <xsl:if test="total">
    <xsl:value-of select="$x + 1" />
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

But you might want to consider writing e.g. a recursive template to generate the serial number to eliminate the use of preceding axis.
