Do we have any lore that indicates how many bats were used to steal London?

Nine, I'd say.
[spoiler]
Well, there are currently nine of them, who ordered The Bazaar to pull London under the Earth using something called the Stone Pigs, earthshaking machines/thrusters.
Technically, it's zero, because the lazy b-----rs couldn't get a pick axe and dig themselves. The swarm of bats everybody saw pulling London under was probably a diversion.

That fairly recent "a Secret About the Masters" blog post really messed with the official Master count. A mistake caused by different writers, or something more complicated? It still bugs me to this day.

The Cheery Man's recollection of the Fall suggests an unsettling number of bats (whether or not they were city-thieves): "Like night", "Like a river, roaring". I imagine there's some clever bat-mathematics from those comparisons to get an estimate.

The newspaper image (not sure where it was from) showed London positively *covered* in them
