Nice idea --- thanks!

Just as most everything else in life, the answer is, I don't need it.
Just as many other things in life, the answer is, it can be useful.
Unlike programming languages (for example c) that work at a "base"
level, I don't explicitly initiate these writes. They can be initiated
by other packages (that are explicitly invoked by myself). For
example, the very useful (my opinion) graphics package {pgfplots}
initiates at least one write.
Thank you for your help!

It would still be better to have an engine-level solution. Morewrites is definitely a hack. >> Update the l3kernel bundle to the newest version > > OK, thanks!

OK, thanks! I am hoping to complete and deliver a major project this
month, so I don't want to risk a major update to my Texlive system at
this point; but I hope to test it next month.

Thanks for the tip. However, the previously attached code is just a
test bench --- that is, it demonstrates the problem and allows me to
test a proposed solution to see if it can resolve the problem. The
example happens to use the Latin alphabet as a kind of enumeration of
the instances that cause the writes.
Thank you again,

Update the l3kernel bundle to the newest version via your package
manager (or directly from CTAN. It's sort of mentionned in the doc of
morewrites (but I really should've added an explicit test in the
package, sorry).
Hope this helps,

Why do you need separate files for each letter? You have more than 65536
entries for
each one?

If you are using XeLaTeX (or any other *LaTeX). It won't work if
filenames contain spaces, but I can get to it if someone gives me a
clear specification of how \openout reads a filename.
