That's an heritage of 8.3 filename restrictions, but when this constraint was removed it was preferred to keep a consistent naming scheme and to avoid name change (~movedto creation) of a lot of files.
I did a little more looking at the existing official torus primitives. With 48 divisions, it looks like the naming standard requires only that the number of sections being generated be a divisor of 48 (e.g. t06q5000.dat and t12o0349.dat). The two digits represent the reciprocal of the fraction of the torus being generated. For low-res primitives with 16 divisions, being a divisor of 16 and being a power of 2 are synonymous.
Consequently, the (potentially) correct name for the 3-of-48 example about would be 48\tm16q####.dat, and it would be permissible to generate hi-res tori with 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 48 sections.
Do you agree?
Thanks.
