Ahhh... disregard, I see now that they can come in any order, so there's heaps more permutations - or is that combinations?
If I've done the maths right (always debatable), allowing one numeral in any position and excluding 1 or 0 will give an extra 5,408 combinations (22,984 total, made up of 34x26x26) compared to the current 17,576 possible now.
