How to observe non-rhotic rule in the following condition?

Supposing I'm talking about something:
"We have to use number ....... eight."
Those dots show pause means I decided to say the following word by delay. In such a condition whether we have to pronounce "r" or not?

Alex John we have to pronounce "r" or not? It is not a matter of 'have to'. Some English speakers do and others do not.

In a non-rhotic variety of English that would come out as 'numbuh'.
