>"I'll change the original 301s to the newest URLs, and then add a new set
for the updated "numeric" pages."

Do this:
change the original 301s to the newest URLs (in your htaccess)

Dont do this:
then add a new set for the updated "numeric" pages.

Instead, do this:
set 301 and Location: header dynamically in your php
