That was a quick conclusion, after less than two hours :-)
Anyway, I agree with your general concern. It only seems good engineering practice to also look at the numbering schemes that are supposed to go with the device number enlargement.
Or, alternatively, to make sure that it's trivial to make further enlargements (or shrinkages), if the need for them should arise. I didn't look at the issue in detail, but perhaps the latter is the case ?
