Long story short, if a team splits for any reason, and both halves are counted as veteran teams, an unused number is picked from the "pool" of numbers that weren't used--but could have been--during the team's rookie year and assigned to one of the two.

Thanks for the clarification. While I did realize that "fission" would result in two non-rookie teams when I read the admin book back in January, I did not catch the issuance of a low team number. It was only a couple of months ago that I realized that teams used to be issued different numbers each year; until sometime between Bayou and CMP, I (mis)understood that teams 1 through 28 inclusive played Maize Craze.
