It depends, if the assigned number ranges were sufficient, they wouldn't have had to assign further blocks of numbers. From the document:
"Further blocks of numbers may be allotted to cover increases in Canadian Vehicle strength in the future and notification of these addition will be forwarded as they occurs."

Clive published a July 1943-dated list in his last book, at first glance it seems the same though in this version he listed the 42- ranges (plus one block of 44-) as allocated to Canadian Army Overseas, whereas the other ranges are listed under the RCASC ranges which were discontinued. The 46- range for Recce Cars is missing from this listing, which may make sense as he only listed B-series vehicles.
The footnote discribes that the RCASC numbers were alloted to B-vehicles driven by RCASC personnel.
