I thought I'd try coding up a solution to #601, to see if it's worthwhile. This adds a (deprecated) parameter that can be set like the existing MAX_SUB_NET_SIZE etc.
In the spirit of YAGNI, I don't think this should be merged for v0.5, since my main concern in #601 was for novice users tracking small data sets interactively, and this solution is not really for novices. But I'm glad I did it to refresh my memory of how particle IDs are assigned. And if the issue in #601 ever causes someone serious grief, we can point them to this branch and consider merging it.
