I have heard an explanation of the seemingly random number assignment.

Apparently, there were 10 DMV people on the phone number at Sacramento.
Each was given 25 numbers.

Whichever person picked up the phone in sequence gave out the numbers that they had.

When each used up their 25 numbers, they were given a second 25 numbers to dole out.

Thus, one DMV gets through and gets 089 through 094 and the very next office that gets through might get 235-240.

Don't know if this is true but it certainly makes more sense than anything else that I have heard.
