Thank you for sharing this, I think it is really interesting to read through.
A thought on:

It relates current teams with other numbers they have had in the past, teams they have split off from/to, or combined with, what have you.

I think that the column on linked teams is what many will be most interested to see and I think that differentiating between teams "split into" or "old team" would be a great place to start. It may cause a lot of confusion to do otherwise (I do realize this is a work in progress, just sharing my thoughts). For example, I wouldn't say that team 4 was ever team 22's past team number. As Eric pointed out 22 is the "parent" and a way to distinguish parent-child / former team # would be a great revision.
Something else I would like to suggest is a way to make it so you know which team numbers were reassigned. i.e. Team 4 was assigned the number in 2006, and something some people aware of this might want to know is whether or not there was a team with that number before(Sorry for using team 4 as a constant example but its the only one I'm completely knowledgeable about)?
