What's about using an already established numbering system, ...  
... allowing tracks from 1 to 99 for each data volume from 1 to 99:

## vvtt

0101  
0102  
..  
0198  
0199  
0201  
0202  
..  
0298  
0299  
... and so on ... until ...  
9991  
9992  
..  
9998  
9999

Be aware of the Windows Explorer bug regarding the case of track number looks like an Octal Number.
