In other words, if physical tuner 1 has 4 virtuals they should be 1-4, physical tuner 2 has 5-8 etc. You could get gaps if you started with, say, 2 virtuals per physical and then bumped the virtual count higher - Myth will add new virtual tuners at the end of the list which doesn’t work as well for multirec. In mythtv-setup there’s an option to override the order of consideration from the order they were defined to anything you like which helps here.

Well I never! Haven't noticed that option before. Have just tried it set to Always and it now works as I expect. Thanks for that.
