Hi. Sure. Here it is. Just the same code with mkdir and an increment of the number variable. Works nicely up until the 10th iteration, then it just continuously creates num_10.
Code:
BASEDIR=$PWD

mkdir -p ${BASEDIR}
mkdir -p ${BASEDIR}/num_0


for f in ${BASEDIR}/num*; do
        [[ -d $f ]] || continue
        base=${f##*/} base=${base%_*}
        num=${f##*_}

        (( num > max[$base] )) && max["$base"]=$num
done
new_num=$((num+1))

LOGDIR=${BASEDIR}/${base}_${new_num}
mkdir -p ${LOGDIR}
