In the Beastie Boys "Egg Man", I mean. Does he simply mean "twelve"?

Yeah, a dozen -ie an egg carton

As in, it's no mere coincidence that there's as many "suckaz" in his sights as there are eggs in his carton.

If there is any room for double meanings in Beastie lyrics, he could possibly be making an allusion to this as well:

The expression "Playing The Dozens" means to taunt another person by taunting, kidding, "jiving," teasing or insulting their family--in essence, to use "snaps." This "gaming" has deep roots in the humor, personality, and social relationships of Black Americans.

It could also refer to a 12-round clip.
