How about this:

Make a frame on the master page which is just big enough for one
line, and autolink it to itself.

Make a text file of your desired numbers on alternate lines (perhaps
with a spreadsheet if there are lots of them).

Drag this file into the first page's number frame.

I've been using the system for ages to make tickets.
