Let's say your the last UID of a control in your form is 9999 (unlikely).
Even now you could use UIDs up to 32768 (or something like that). For each
new dynamicaly created control increase the number, e.g.:
first control: 10000
second control: 10001
third control: 10002
AFAIK you can have the same ID in two (or more) different forms, but not in
the same.
