I think TLG's numbering always boils down to manufacturing and inventory
control. A part number is needed for each molded part, so each subpart
needs its own number. And the aggregate, post-gluing part needs a
number to track its insertion into sets.
Heck, the baggies of parts probably have their own numbers.
