If the number exceeds this number, English letters will be used as the prefix, starting from A0000 to A9999. Then proceed from B0000 to B9999, and so on to Z9999.
If the 2.6 million numbers are full again, there are two ways to continue the numbering:
1. Put the English letters in the second position and arrange them from 0A000 to 0A999. Then 1A000 to 1A999, and so on to 9Z999.
2. The first two characters use English letters, from AA000 to AA999, then to AB000-AB999, and so on to AZ999, starting with BA000-BA999, BB000-BB999, and extending all the way to ZZ999.
If the number is still full, then the English letter will be used in the third position.
