From my experience, any attempt at grouping some kind of numbering like this normally results a few years later in an attempt to undo the grouping to solve problems caused by the ranges being too small, or running out of numbers of a sensible size. Ideally it should be as simple as possible, "run a script and a number will be chosen for you" is a lot more convenient, and if a script could warn of duplicated numbers for fixing (think the result of cut-and-paste by someone unfamiliar with the script) that would be ideal too.
