I think the GDC disagrees with you on that:

Q. Does R35 limit the team number quantity to exactly four locations? For instance, if one side of the robot has two short bumpers separated by a gap, can the complete team number be put on both of those bumpers? Thus, there'd be two complete team numbers on one side of the robot. FRC1619 2012-02-08
A. Rule [R35] requires that the team number be displayed in four locations, no more or fewer.
You can quibble over whether the R35 applies specifically to team numbers on the bumpers of anywhere on the robot, but I think the GDC is taking an extremely restrictive reading on this one.
