Tranche - 't(a)r' (not having 'a') + 'N(itrogen)' (in) 'ache' (long)

I can see where you are going Lie-in King but I am thrown by 'raft' from the Crusader and 'Number' from his Squire. Can you help further?

Raft; large number - eg "He's picked up a raft of yellow cards this season"

Thank you for your help Lie-in King but I have never heard of raft in that context until I went to check in my dictionary. You live and learn however.
