NO a A0000 was not produced.

Just another speculative theory:

Maybe Brad just meant they took the first 5 ever produced engines out of the
production, not the numbers 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004, 0005 (which would lead to
the problem with the too big number of 10000.)

So they might have taken the first 5 engines beginning with 0000, 0001, 0002,
0003, 0004.
This sounds more probable to me. Changing the font style for the one singular
engine 10000 (to press 5 digits behind the "A") sounds not very reasonable to
me...
