My suggestion would handle that case; the case where it fails is what
you've pointed out:

Yeah; dividing the number of available subdomains by the number of
possible element types is a serious limitation, especially if any
users are already doing bitmasking tricks and thereby creating higher
subdomain_ids faster.  Exodus uses a 32-bit block ID, right?  And we
use 12 of their element types; we might say 16 to leave some room for
expansion.  So our maximum "real" subdomain_id would be around 250
million; we'd have thrown away the top 4 bits.
