Some documentation has been added for the next release, which you can see
at:

http://www.gnucash.org/viewdoc.phtml?rev=trunk&lang=C&doc=help

Scroll to Section 9.3.4. I don't know if this will solve your exact
problem, but you can put in literals and surpress leading zeros. By the
way, that documentation about the Counter Book Option Tab should be
applicable to the 2.4 series.
