There is no such settings currently, can you share the use case for why you need to it start at a higher number?

Consider either one of these 2 situations:

a) A unique identifier is needed for a form. Currently, the instance or submission ID may work to do this. For company policy/convention, the unique ID needs to start on the 5000 order so that it doesn't conflict with other forms submitted via Sharepoint.
b) Customer has RIO with multiple form servers license. A single Forms server is set up and all forms run from there. There is a particular BP that is causing high stress on IIS because of the number of submissions provided at a given time, causing all other forms to slow down or simply fail to load. A new Forms server is set up with a separate DB and this particular BP is set to run from the new server. The instance or submission ID was used to identify each submitted form. New submissions from the new server may result in incorrect/duplicate data.
