wxPython StyledTextCtrl line numbers not starting at 1

I know how to add line numbers to a wxPython StyledTextCtrl, thanks to the wxPython Demos.

myctrl.SetMarginType(0, wx.stc.STC_MARGIN_NUMBER)

Is there a way to make the line numbering start at something other than 1?

The motivation for this is to show snippets of a large text file. I want the line numbers to match those in the complete file, but I don't want to load the entire file in my text control.
