Actually there is. The number must be centered both vertically and horizontally on a player’s jersey according to 3-4-3b.
Therefore, if the 1 in a 13 printed on a shirt is covered with tape, the remaining 3 will not be centered as required by rule.
You or other officials can certainly choose to allow this fix and look the other way, but stating that there isn’t a rule preventing it is untrue.
