"They looked at 130 different values per country and year", they don't say how many years were studied but I assume the greece book fixing lasted only a few years so we are looking at ~500 samples. I honestly don't know if that's enough or not, on wikipedia they show examples of the distribution on less than 100 samples so I guess I'm on the wrong.

can you apply Benford's law to only 130 samples?? that's not a large set of data according to my book
As I read it, they examined 130 different time series. The article did not say how many observations were in the sample for each time series.
