Try:

\version "2.16.0"

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \override RehearsalMark #'font-name = #"Purisa"
  }
}

#(define (format-mark-rounded-box-letters mark context)
 (make-bold-markup
   (make-rounded-box-markup
     (make-pad-markup-markup 2
       (make-markletter-markup
         (1- mark))))))

#(define-public (format-mark-rounded-box-numbers mark context)
  (make-bold-markup
    (make-rounded-box-markup
      (make-pad-markup-markup 2
        (number->string mark)))))

\relative c' {
\set Score.markFormatter = #format-mark-rounded-box-letters
c1 \mark \default
c1 \mark \default
c1 \mark \default
c1 \mark \default
c1
}

\relative c' {
\set Score.markFormatter = #format-mark-rounded-box-numbers
c1 \mark \default
c1 \mark \default
c1 \mark \default
c1 \mark \default
c1
}


You should adjust the number in `make-pad-markup-markup 2'
