The 3 refers to the inner radius of the cone. All cone primitives (like ring
primitives) are made with an outer radius which is 1 LDU greater than the inner
radius. So a con3.dat would have inner-radius 3 and outer radius 4, a con4 has
inner radius 4 and outer radius 5, etc.

See above for naming of cones. I'm pretty sure the current primitives are
sufficient to suit your needs. Check out Steve Bliss' cone spreadsheet
mentioned in this thread. If you still can't figure it out from that, post the
inner and outer radii and depth for the cones you need, and I'll work on it
when I get a chance.
