The earnings need to be from a 12 month period. So you cannot use the 2nd Dec 2011 payslip since most of it it would be for 4 weeks falling outside the period you are claiming for.

At the most, you can claim pro-rata for the first 2 days of dec 2011(assuming the pay is till 2nd Dec) and explain it in a covering letter if you need those 2 days earnings to claim enough points.

The number of payslips does not matter as long as they cover the earnings period.
