It's an extra variable.

It's easy.

Change it to:
Format: 'M' <if-flag> <mobile nr> <max existing> <room nr> <qualifier>

Then if you don't have the last argument, don't error out, just fill in the
default of 'max-existing means per-world'

i.e.: if <qualifier> =:
0 = per world
1 = per room
2 = per zone
etc
