I suppose the author is counting five parables as follows:
[23]And he called them unto him,
and said unto them in parables,
1 How can Satan cast out Satan?
2 [24]And if a kingdom be divided
against itself, that kingdom
cannot stand.
3 [25]And if a house be divided
against itself, that house
cannot stand.
4 [26]And if Satan rise up against
himself, and be divided, he
cannot stand, but hath an end.
5 [27]No man can enter into a
strong man's house, and spoil
his goods, except he will first
bind the strong man; and then he
will spoil his house.
Verses 26 and 27 appear to be one statement, not being separated by "and" as
are the other sentences. However, I suspect that Jesus' discourse was
lengthier and that Mark only recorded those parts of it that were pertinent
to the purpose of his gospel. This suspicion is borne out by Matthew's
version of this event (Mat. 12:25-29). Matthew's record of Jesus' lecture
includes two sentences (12:27 and 12:28) between the 4th and 5th parables
enumerated above. So they are two separate statements, not one. If I were
editing a red-letter edition, I would have the first "and" in verses 24, 25
and 26 printed in black; as written by Mark and not spoken by Jesus.

There are only four parables: v. 24: "If a kingdom is divided against
itself, it cannot stand." v. 25 "If a house is divided against itself, it
cannot stand." v. 26 "If Satan (an adversary) rises up against himself and is
divided, he cannot stand but has an end." v. 27 "No man can enter into a
strong man's house and spoil his goods, except that he would first bind the strong
man; and then he will spoil his house."
