It's the 200th line in the function body string. IIRC there is a
special case to not count a leading newline in the body string,
so that the counting goes like

CREATE FUNCTION foo ...
RETURNS ...
AS $$
DECLARE -- this is line 1

or without exploiting the special case

CREATE FUNCTION foo ...
RETURNS ...
AS $$DECLARE -- this is line 1
