From what I can see the problem you are having is with the layout numbering. REAPER, from my experience anyway, only looks so far into the layout name for an ordered qualifier. Example - WT's V5 Imperial has 18 layouts under track heading and all 18 show up under all of the various places.
Your layouts need to have a different order to them and you can have as many as you can visibly stand. Example:

A1---Long Name (Blue)
A2---Med Name (Red)
A3---Short Name (Violet)
B1---Folder (Blue)
B2---Folder (Red)
B3---Folder (Violet)

And you can add layouts later.....

A1---Long Name (Blue)
A1.1---Long Name NO METER (Blue)
A2---Med Name (Red)
A3---Short Name (Violet)
B1---Folder (Blue)
B1.1---Folder NO METER (Blue)
B2---Folder (Red)
B3---Folder (Violet)

I have taken WT's Imperial V5 and added lots of TR layouts just to be shure of my theory....having a good layout ordering system w/ room to add is key to getting what you want.

Context Menu:


Options Menu:


Track Menu:


Screenset Menu:


The proof is in the pudding!!
(Screenset menu is scrolled down to see the last entry, but they are all there.)
Also, there are no layouts mysteriously deleted from other categories lol.
