No.  If you removed it, then string numbers set outside chords would be ignored.

I don't think it needs to; since the events are mapped to the note
events in order, unless a string number articulation gets in the way,
the first note gets the first string number.

<c e g>\1\2\3

-> c\1 e\2 g\3

The following is the exception, but I can't imagine many users mixing
up string numbers this way:

<c\1 e g>\2\3 or <c e\2 g>\1\3

-> c\1 e\2 g\3
