Alright, so if my memory doesn't fail me from the previous time we mulled this over, we could forgo the first digit representing the coalition, as it just needs to be a valid M3 with the ATO. What I would suggest personally is the first digit representing role (CAP, SEAD, CAS, etc.), the second and third representing their package number, and then their final one representing their position within the package. That should give us 64 packages to play with per role, as M3 is an octal system. We would have to bear in mind that 7500, 7600 and 7700 are all emergency squawks and show up as such in LotATC.
