My original understanding was that you keep adding for every time you missed, i.e. if you miss 2 weeks in your life, you light 4 candles for the rest of your life (the original 2 plus the 2 “penalty” ones). But, after reading the page DY linked, it sounds like the Rema just mentioned lighting a third when you forget; is it just inferred that you light 4 is you forget twice and so on?
