Although not explicitly stated, if you look at the Get Sensor Capability [2] and Get Sensor Info [3] commands you can indirectly infer that the Sensor IDs are contiguous. Not the strongest guarantee I know.
All platforms currently using SCP (Juno R0 and R1) do indeed expose contiguous identifiers. Maybe we can convince the authors to make it explicit.
