You can't. At least, you can't reuse the same job number for a later build because the job number uniquely identifies the results of that job and is used to store the results of that job in the file system.
If you want a monotonically increasing number which only increases when you successfully build, I think you'll need to implement that in your build scripts, since the build number / job number is not something you can use to count successful builds. We did something like that by increasing the version number in a file controlled by the SCM system, then we only committed/pushed that change when the job was successful.
