Sorry its taken me a while to get back to you Ceylon.
A run of regular notes is 6.4 million notes. That is 200,000 sheets of 32. So run 1 is serial numbers 0000 0001 - 0640 0000 run 2 is 0640 0001 - 1280 0000, etc. There are 15 runs capped at serial number 9600 0000. The serial number for the note you have falls in the serial range for run 9.
Additionally the sheets have 4 columns and 8 rows. The top left note is position A1, the one underneath is B1, all the way to H1 the the top note of the second column is A2, etc. The bottom right note is H4. Now each note position contains 200,000 sequential serial number ranges. For example position A1 of run 1 would have serial numbers 0000 0001 - 0020 0000 position B1 would have serial numbers 0020 0001 - 0040 0000 etc. H4 would have 0620 0001 - 0640 0000. Then run 2 position A1 would have serials 0640 0001 - 0660 0000 B1 would have 0660 0001 - 0680 0000, etc. Your serial numbers corrispond to position D2.
Finally despite what you would think serial numbers are printed with the highest numbers first and count down, not up. So run 1 position A1 the printing starts at 0020 0000 and counts down to 0000 0001. Serial number 0020 0000 would actually be the first sheet printed for that run. The serial range for position D2 of run 9 is 5340 0001 - 5360 0000. So 5360 0000 minus 5347 8915 means it was sheet 121,085 of run 9.
Hope this helps
