​These sections are just "tables" of parameters. The BONDS_INC_HYDROGEN
and BONDS_WITHOUT_HYDROGEN sections contain pointers into these arrays for
each bond. So each number does not necessarily correspond to a single (or
any) bond -- they in fact usually correspond to many different bonds (that
all have the same parameters).

The prmtop file is not really human-readable in this way. I would suggest
using a tool like ParmEd or cpptraj to inspect the prmtop file.

You can also find documentation about the file format at
http://ambermd.org/formats.html if what you're trying to do is fully
understand the prmtop.
