The answer

It is permissible to make this supplication and others for Muslim men and women, but specifying a certain reward based on the number of those forgiven has no basis. It has been reported that whoever seeks forgiveness for believing men and believing women, Allah will record a good deed for him for every believing man and believing woman. It has also been reported that a Muslim's supplication for his brother in his absence is answered, and the angel says: Amen, and to you the same.
