what are these numbers, I don't recall RFCs going into 5 digits yet

Yes my bad, it is from a bad copy-paste, you should ignore the last digit.
How do you copy paste something so wrong that it adds a random digit to each number?
They aren't random at all, they are practically in order. It was probably a footnote reference to the bottom of the source article, with a link to each RFC at the footnote.
The only way I think is that it was a numbered list and they pasted the RFC number before the list number so the list number was actually appended to the RFC number?
