The editor does not assist with that - the case I was referring to is
where some of the houses are not physically equally spaced - those nodes can
be numbered.
There is no editor tool to generate equally spaced numbered nodes that I
know of. However, that would be a simple addition to the JOSM Address
Interpolation plugin; I may try to add that in the next week or 2.

The primary user of address interpolation ways is computer geo-location
from a numbered address - for either map marker placement or navigation.
So all that is required are the 2 end nodes and the way with only enough
un-tagged nodes to define the path of the houses. The usual rendering is
just a dotted line on the map between the 2 numbered end nodes.
