You also have to keep in mind that R46s/R68s are 75-footers. Ten 60-footers are equivalent to eight 75-footers. Going to do some quick math via Wikipedia (which admittedly makes this an estimation):
(748 R46s + 425 R68s + 200 R68As) * 10 / 8 = 1717 cars. Not to mention the SIR is replacing its R44s with them as well.

The fact that there are currently no plans to implement CBTC on Broadway probably means they are last in priority. The order will likely go:
A/C - displace all R46s and R68s
B/D - Sixth Avenue has plans for CBTC so they will need new cars, displace majority of R68s/R68As. I don't think the base order for the R211 has enough to cover all of them, but option orders should bring them over the hump.
N/Q/W - will be receiving hand-me-down R68s from the above to replace their R46s all this while. Maybe the option order will be large enough for at least part of the Broadway fleet to have R211s?
