Demystifynig Weapon Damage

I've been mulling whether I was going to post this or not, but since I just can't figure it out and the documentation and forum searching hasn't helped.

How exactly are the wMain tags figured. I get the first part is the die type and the second is the progression it uses for size increases, but for the life of me I can't figure out how that second part is figured.

Looking at 1d4 for example goes to 1d6, but the tag is 1d4_4 and I just can't see the logic in it. Is there some simple idea that I'm missing because the values almost seem arbitrary, but obviously I'm sure they are not.

Any help would be great!

The tag for damage of 1 is 1_1
The tag for damage of 1d2 is 1d2_2
The tag for damage of 1d3 is 1d3_3
The tag for damage of 1d4 is 1d4_4
The tag for damage of 1d6 is 1d6_5
The tag for damage of 1d8 is 1d8_6

The number after the underscore is the order of the tag when scaling up or down. Once you get high enough that the damage splits into more than one track, you start having each track have a different hundreds, like "_104" and "_206"
