> The question is, how to map tags from the rest of tracks beginning No.1001, 1002 and so on to files by MP3Tag ?

**Short answer:**  
**You can't get the metadata for tracks beyond the MB API limit** currently with Mp3tag and the available Tag Sources Scripts.

Longer answer:  
There is an API limit from MusicBrainz. You can read about it [here](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/ws-musicbrainz-roon-recording-tags/56097#script-info-limitations-2).  
The only thing that would work, is a so called "Pseudo release". This kind of a splitted release would have to be added at MusicBrainz first.

Currently, you can't limit the amount of tracks in Tag Sources Scripts, like tracks number 0-500, then 501-999, then 1000-1499 and so on. This would be necessary to get the tracks beyond the API limit.

The only "workaround" would be to try [Picard](https://picard.musicbrainz.org/downloads/), the official MusicBrainz tagging software.  
AFAIK, such kind of paging was introduced in one of the latest builds ([v2.8](https://blog.metabrainz.org/2022/05/24/picard-2-8-released/)):
