The "enumitem" module makes it easy to configure lists:

Enumeration starting at a given value:

 1. [start=4] This enumeration

 2. starts at 4.
 
There used to be an example file (examples/enumitem.lyx) in my SVN
version of LyX but I realize it is missing in my LyX 2.0.3.

Also, the user guide seems to miss the point that for resumed enumeration the
enumitem module must be loaded...
