I don't think there is.  I wouldn't be against adding a --max-count
switch which only returns N matching results.  I've filed
http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1437 for comment.

There's been some confusion about what --last is supposed to do (and
your analysis that it counts back in the global patch stack sounds
right).  See http://bugs.darcs.net/issue92
