I dont believe this is constrained to a certain number of digits. because
of that I think that the only limitations would be that number of characters
available for directory names on the platform you are using. if you are
running a single backup per day and never deleting any old incremental or
full backups you would be able to run for 10 years and only be up to ~3650.
that just 4 characters. in fact you can get 27 years out of 4 digits and
274 years out of 5 digits.
I would think that you would run into a max-directories on a filesystem
limit and a file space limit long before then.
