Please check my math:

Maximum partition size with FAT32 is 2TB which is 2^41. For those big
sizes FAT32 uses a cluster size of 32KB which is 2^15.

Hence maximum cluster number is 2^41/2^15 = 2^26.

INT_MAX is ~2^31.

Hence we have a lot of safe numbers to use for invented inode numbers.
Right?


Right,
