 * Hey,
 * Is it normal for the Subscription plugin to create a brand new order number for
   the Subscription? We have a site that is selling a virtual product, which is 
   set up a split payment. Woo generates an order number, for example 1000, the 
   subscription plugin then creates an order with an order id of 1001… so our next
   normal order is 1002 and we have 2 order numbers for essentially one order.
   Wondering
   if there was a way it could add a prefix to the original order number instead?
