How reliable is this figure

Graded medium: this rate is believed current but has not been re-checked against an official Republic of the Congo source recently. Verify it before issuing, and override it in your settings if it has moved.

Whatever the grade, your own setting always wins — a rate you enter overrides the registry everywhere, including on documents already dated in the past.

Numbering

Prefix, padding and yearly reset are configurable per document type, and the series is kept separately for each type.
