Some Eastern European jurisdictions have some rules on this too, and I
think they have been discussed many years back. Perhaps Slovenia was
one such place.
I was of course wondering if the sequence 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 etc would
be acceptable?

Invoice numbers in Gnucash are sequential in a legalistic way, it is
simply incremented.
Not every number results in an invoice to be paid, but that is (to me)
analogous to cancelling a cheque, you had that one, but never spent it
so its number doesn't appear in a statement.

I make invoices for items which are being invoiced through a subsidiary
program, where my Gnucash invoices represent a total for a time period,
because it makes accounting for the income easier. Only myself and my
accountant will ever see the evidence of those invoices. Each uses
a number in my sequence, and if the ATO comes calling, I can
demonstrate that I haven't hidden my income, which is of course all
they are worried about.
