This would depend on the Aussie regulations in effect.  I thought at 
least one jurisdiction (maybe NZ) required one or more slashes to be 
written before the call is complete.  Anyway, if the call is incomplete, 
it can be changed freely.  Once it's completed, L25 applies.

As others have written, I'd be surprised if "2" standing alone is a 
complete call.  If that's what the regulations say, they need to specify 
how to determine the denomination.  In spoken bidding, "Two... no, 
wait..." is not a call.
