Hello Mike!

I believe we are talking about the “Record Number” here.
Unfortunately, you can’t change the start number of “Record Number” even with the Javascript customization.

I recommend using fields other than the “Record Number” field to assign a custom format of sequential number with designated starting number, using the Javascript customization.

The following pages explain about how to create sequential numbers from fields other than the “Record Number” field. Even though the pages are in Japanese, you might be able to understand the code part in the pages.

I hope this helps.
