Just use blk_register_region() to claim the region you want, you don't have to care for any major/minor binary. There is not much of the dev_t space used for block devices at all so there's no problem.
Actually coordinating those allocations with LANANA might help to not step other people on their feet, but your return value will tell that anyway.
