That is it - easy as "ABC"

OK, that might work with some later camera but with my LX3 I renamed the 111_PANA folder and the file in it to be 123_PANA & P1230005.

Took a shot and it recreated the 111_PANA folder and added P1110006 and it totally ignored the higher folder number.

To redo the test I used No.Reset to cause it to create a new 112_PANA folder and took one shot, then renamed the folder and file to be 140 (I also deleted the earlier 123 folder) then took another shot, it then re-created the 112 folder and put P1120002 into it. It ignored the 140 folder altogether.

I can't get it to work unless I create all the intervening folders to force the camera to ignore all those as being "used" and then it will go to the new top higher folder number.

So it's a case of everyone needing to do their own research to see what works for them.
