`C-u M-x occur' doesn't interpret the prefix argument as the amount of
additional context.  `C-u M-x occur' collects strings matching regexp.
It is like grep command line argument `-o --only-matching' that prints
only the matched parts of a matching line, with each such part
on a separate output line.

Have you tried `M-x occur M-n RET'?
