A snipe is a bid placed right before the end of an auction. There are services out there that will do this for you, or you can do it manually.

"set a couple of snipes" would refer to using a service, such as GavelSnipe where you setup the bid in advance and the system executes it for you.

"set a couple" I would take to mean that there were a few auctions the person was looking at and they placed one snipe on each of those auctions. So, one snipe per auction. Wouldn't really make sense to do multiple snipes of the same auction. At least I can't think of a reason to do this.
