Sure!  This one goes up to 10999, and uses the assumptions that
numbers higher than 1k are indicated by placing a geresh after the <1k
part, then writing the rest of the number with the same digits as
before, but *1000.  (In other words, it's what Mati described.)

  system: additive;
  range: 1 10999;
