Well, I expect it can be done, but would require writing a few new routines. Would be a practical thing to do, actually.

Have the script look through the first field (ID) for the first available (lowest) number that is not in use (if seen), and use it.

Another way would be to have deleted IDs added to a text file, and have the script pull new (lowest) ID numbers from there first, before adding a new one.

But, I'm not up t o doing this right now...

Or, to do it manually, you don't have to edit the file, you can put the ID number in the field in the admin, just be sure not to use duplicates.

I posted over on the custom-mods forum that adding a write to a file would be the easiest way. I don't have the code, but right after the successful delete, open a text file, write the ID to it, close it.

Before an add, where the new ID would be obtained from the high-number, check the file above first, if there is an entry, remove it, rewrite the file, and move on. If it's empty, go through the normal channel.

This is why the SQL version is so popular :) The plugin system, the use of tables not files, etc.

And, you could use the dynamic-look pages so you wouldn't have to write out a static site, but the site would look static.
