The change is wrong. "for which it should be shown" is connected to
the world "fields", and the meaning changes if you put it after
"header of each frame". If you want you could use:

"and store the number of fields for which each frame should be shown
in its [respective] header"

Personally I like the original wording best but I'm not particular.
