CLUSTER_COUNT:
Specifies the approximate number of clusters to be built by the algorithm.
If the approximate number of clusters cannot be built from the data, the
algorithm builds as many clusters as possible. Setting the CLUSTER_COUNT to 0
causes the algorithm to use heuristics to best determine the number of
clusters to build.

The default is 10.

anyone?
