I agree a full rewrite is sensible, but that particular wording looks
slightly odd to me.  I would either have added an "an", or pluralized
the subject, so either
"trigger's return list must have an even number of elements"
or"trigger's return lists must have even number of elements"

However I notice that the "must have even number" wording (and others
where "must have" is not followed by an indefinite article) is already
used in other places, so maybe it's just an English quirk.
