That’s true when you’re talking about the difference between one or more sets of parenthetical phrases. One phrase would be involve a pair of parenthesis, two or more phrases would involve four or more parentheses. A parence would be the singular mark, either ‘(’ or ‘)’. That’s really only something editors care about.
