Is there a practical limit to the number of dynamic LNKLST sets created?

I find myself in a position to deploy two products upgrades, both requiring
new data sets in LNKLST (either new names, or under-sizing issues). To
accommodate implementation and back out processes, I would like to come up
with a naming convention for the LNKLST sets that includes a numeric
suffix, such that if product "A" is introduced first, the new set name is
LNKLST01. When product "B" is introduced, set name LNKLST02 is defined. If
product "A" requires back out, LNKLST03 is defined. If product "B" requires
back out, LNKLST04 is defined, etc, etc, rinse, repeat. I honestly doubt
there would ever be need to extend past "LNKLST99", or even "LNKLST09", but
knowing a limitation (if one exists) will help shape a standard. Is hex
representation acceptable, allowing from 01-FF sets? Does decimal
representation, allowing from 01-99 sets exceed a limit?

If the maximum number of LNKLST sets is defined somewhere, my apologies for
not seeing it!
