Wing-Chung is right that the small/large distinction is much more important.
With that said, you could go 98 cases for even-indexed Smalls (Pablo, the generator-runner generates seed(index) such that seed(index) % 2 == index % 2) and 99 cases for odd-indexed Smalls. It doesn't prevent all problems on Smalls, but I bet it would catch more than half.
