If use say "-a 4" this gives you up to 26x26x26x26=456,976 suffix combinations (aaaa-zzzz) which at 5000 records per file comes to 2,284,880,000 maximum input records.
Not sure if I understand your question. If your "-a" value is high enough you don't need to know the number of records in advance.
If you are creating large numbers of files be careful that you have enough inodes in the filesystem (df -i).
