Have to ask, but why the restriction on the number of records in each file? Personally, I can't think of a good business case for this.
In my case, it was an arbitrary restriction due to feeding a mainframe system. Some hills aren't worth dying on, so I implemented it instead of fighting the good fight.
Explains your reasoning but what about the OP? Curious as to what his/her reason(s) are for this requirement.
