You can use $inlinecount=allpages in the query to get the count of all the entities in the results without the top and skip. For example:

http://services.odata.org/OData/OData.svc/Products?$top=1&skip=1&$inlinecount=allpages

Returns a single product but also inline count of 9 (since there are 9 products in the entity set).
