How many received lines to look at is part of the SA config:

       num_check_received { integer }   (default: 2)
           How many received lines from and including the original mail
           relay do we check in RBLs (you'd want at least 1 or 2).
           Note that for checking against dialup lists, you can call
           check_rbl with a special set name of "set-firsthop" and this
           rule will only be matched against the first hop if there is
           more than one hop, so that you can set a negative score to
           not penalize people who properly relayed through their ISP.
           See dialup_codes for more details and an example

and bondedsender looks like a standard rbl rule:

rbleval:check_rbl('relay', 'query.bondedsender.org.')

So I would say 2.
