Have you read the documentation for sprintf? It should be easy for you to add a second number if you did.
You should also take the advice from Stephen to hart.

You should not do this:
for n = 1:n
It's very confusing (even though it works) because it appears that n is both the loop iterator and the ending iteration value and seems to take on two contradictory values. You should do this:
for k = 1 : n
To create a series of folders, do this:
n = 4; % Whatever...
pathList = cell(n, 1); % Preallocate a cell array to contain all the folder names.
for k = 1 : n
% Create the folder name as a character array.
folderName = fullfile(pwd, sprintf('Folder %2.2d', k));
if ~isfolder(folderName)
% Folder does not exist. Need to create it.
mkdir(folderName);
end
pathList{k} = folderName; % Save the folder name in a list.
end
path1= pathList{1}; % Or whatever you want...
path2= pathList{2}; % Or whatever you want...
