Yes, the "2" doesn't have units.  I don't know the exact meaning of it, but the idea it's similar to Latex's
\big, \Big, \bigg, etc.  Some pre-determined, fixed sizes.

On the other hand, I found that at least in 1.0.7.21, you can still use delimiters of specified sizes.  Perhaps that's an undocumented feature, but it's very welcome, and I suggest that it be "officialized".  To do it, you disable "Enforce brackets to match", and then if you type, e.g. \left, return, (, tab, 2, return, you get a left parenthesis of size 2. [Sometimes, for reasons I don't understand, you may have to type \left, return, tab, fill in the 2, then fill in the (, and then return, to make it work.] 

Maybe Joris can comment on the rationale behind these things / whether this is deprecated or simply not visibly documented?

[And: what is "size 2" without units? That's weird! Shouldn't that be something like "2fn"? (search for "TeXmacs units" in the docs)]
