What Richard said has been my experience also. Never once have I had
to continue numbering but in a different format. However on occasion I
have had to start numbering with odd (as in in non-usual) numbering,
especially when lawyers get involved. However...

As I play around with different settings it’s become clear that

Well, yes. "Continue Numbering" means keep using the same numbering.
The next file after the TOC is Chap1, and I want that and subsequent
chapters’ number format to be Numeric. The only way I can do that
is by
setting Chap1’s number format to Numeric AND set its “First Page #”
to
7 (the TOC is currently 4 pages). If I instead select “Continue
Numbering From Previous Page in Book,” Frame forces Chap1’s pages
to be
Roman.

This seems inappropriate. I can’t both continue numbering from the
previous file AND change the number format? Very odd. I don’t like
that
Frame forces me to set Chap1’s first page at 7 rather than looking at
the previous file.
No, what you're trying to do is very odd -- IMHO, of course. :-)
You want the pages numbered i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, 7, 8, 9, ... ?
Really??
My books -- and every other book I've ever seen -- are numbered i,
ii, iii, iv, v, vi, 1, 2, 3, ... Or simply 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
9, ...
If you're not going to restart numbering after the frontmatter, then
don't use a different format for the frontmatter. It just confuses
people. At least it does people like me. ;-)
If you insist on doing this then you can start your numbering from any
number you like. Just remember that if the page count changes in the
small roman format you will need to manually change the arabic format.
