Chitown,
Perhaps Muncy Winds can help you. Another thing you might do is to write to Guy Legere (via the Legere web site) and run your experience by him and see what he says.
It appears to me that Legere reeds have different serial number ranges for each type of reed. For example, my stash of Legere regular cut tenor reeds has a 131313 - 141390 range, my Quebec Bb clarinet reeds are 176226 - 230035, and my bass clarinet reeds are 122056 - 124254.
I keep my reeds in serial number order for each instrument. When I need to replace a tenor reed in rotation in my reed case I'll buy a new reed, put it at the back-end of my stash of tenor reeds, and use the oldest one (first in line). In this way I'm adding new reeds and using old ones in a rolling manner. Normally, the older reeds play perfectly fine. I haven't noticed any differences to speak of between the older ones I have and a brand-new one from the music shop.
