Hi Malcolm
I think the numbers allocated for active regions only stand for the time we see them. If they make the full rotation it is assigned the next number - after 1035 came and went another 4 active regions formed so when 1035 rotated back into view it became 1040.
I guess in the good old days they had no way of really knowing if one active region was the same one or not - it makes sense I guess!
I hope this assists in your question.
Oh, thanks for looking!
