From past observation of fighter jet productions (exclude J6 and J7 production), It is rare (or practically none based on my personal observation), that a batch production number exceeds 100.

CB0370 was a surprise as 70 aircrafts in one batch was rare, but looking back at the earlier rumours on opening of multiple production lines for J20, and assumed that 4 production lines are running is true, and if each line can assemble 24 aircraft per production batch run, then an optimal output of 96 aircraft per batch might be possible.

And what happen if a future batch production roll out more than 100 jets? I assume that it will be something like CB05108, 05 is the batch number, and 108 is the serial of product within the batch.

I briefly touched on this a few pages back -- I suspect that in the event that happens, they simply won't have a "batch" exceed 99 aircraft in terms of production serials, but instead just have two sequential batches instead.

Given there doesn't seem to be any relationship between the duration in which a batch is produced and a normal calendar year, they have a lot of flexibility to adjust it as needed while keeping within the CBxyab system.

Theoretically speaking, by following the CBxyab convention, up to 10000 J-20s can offer up to the PLAAF, assuming every single batch is filled to full. That is, 100 batch (00-99 for xy) × 100 units per batch (00-99 for ab) = 10000 possible units of J-20 in total.

Although, I believe it is neither likely that the PLAAF would need 10000 or more J-20s, nor Chengdu could build 10000 or more J-20s before 6th-generation fighters would eventually replace them.

Well, he is not asking. A rhetorical question, I can tell. He was saying that "the last two numbers" could only mean it's ?09th or ?10th, but you wont kown whether it's 109th or 09th (Dont kown how to translate "内顺序号" and "外顺序号"). Still, I wont put it seriously.

i understand it's a rhetorical question, and I understand he has question over this:

He was saying CB0310 may mean Batch 03 10th or Batch 03 110th. But this doesn't make much sense to me.

so clearly he only has the knowleage as our general public, thus i said we can ignore him
