So if "note[para[2]] " means "at least 2", how do you express "exactly 2"?

If you didn't want "note[count(para)=2]", you could say note[para[2]][not(para[3])]


These could be expressed a bit more intelligibly in XPath 2:

note[exists(para[2])] -- the note has a second para

note[exists(para[2])][not(exists(para[3]))] -- the note has a second para, but not a third

But I might opt for note[count(para)=2] as it's both concise, and quite obvious.
