Isn't your document part of a book? Then, instead of trying to manually
create custome page numbers, set up the book correctly and let FM
number the pages. (Use the <$chapnum> variable, etc.)

If this is a standalone document that needs this numbering, not related
to any other file, then let the footer contain "4-#", where "#" is the
page number variable. Then manually set the first page number to 359
in Format>Document>Numbering (Page tab if you're using FM6 or FM7).
