views pass argument for number of records to display to pager contextual filter?
I don't think it's possible through the Views interface. But I think you could probably do it through a small custom module.

function MYMODULE_views_pre_build(&amp;$view) {
  if ($view-&gt;name == 'view_name') {
    $limit = $arg(1) //where $arg is the argument from your url
    $view-&gt;items_per_page = $limit;
  }
}
