How does Monk guess the exact number of the box in E612?
In episode 12 of season 6, Monk guesses that most of the product of the theft is still in the bank, in one of the boxes in the vault. So far, so good, I could follow his reasoning.
But I did not understand how he guesses the exact number of the box. What is his reasoning on this precise point ?
A posteriori, when checking the card of that box in the files, the phony name it is registered to, namely J. A. Guar, confirms his guess.
But he checked only that particular card, he did not have to go through all the files. How come?

As Monk says, Crawley said that he had half a box full of jewellery to pawn and that "half a box" is an unusual phrase in this context.
Then Monk says that he remembers that there were only 6 extra large boxes in the vault and only 5 were opened and that one was not the last one in sequence but was in the middle.
