Actually, that's exactly what happens. Any airshow PR announcement will usually say something like "So-and-so airline and Boeing announced an order of 20 airframes of X with options for a further 15 of Y", not "So-and-so airline and Boeing announced 20 orders of X airframe...".

And when the tally comes at the end of the airshow, it's "Boeing led the order book with 25 orders totalling 225 airframes with options for an additional 100...".
