Tony: I also like this method of reducing the number of characters needed, by increasing the base. I started doing this in the 1970s using APL (A Programing Language) which made it very easy. Since then, my "alphabet" has grown to its present size of about a thousand characters.
Since you are interested in in unique serial numbers; I generally strive to implement such a thing as a value that consists of combinations and permutations of the letters in my alphabet. That effectively lets me use a value that is distinctly encoded with up to five of my dimensions at this time.
