How do I create Paragraph Numbering that includes a Heading number
Yes, multiple body text styles will be required—one for each time you want to "reflect" the numbering of a corresponding numbered heading.
You can certainly make use of the "Style for following paragraph" setting (the way you can with any paragraph style in Word). For the most part, I suspect that you will have to explicitly apply the desired style, though, to achieve the desired format and number.
If you modify the numbering (in the Multilevel List dialog box), all "connected" styles will be affected: the Heading style as well as any body style which is based on the heading.
I have added a request here to see if we can increase it:

andez2k23 As it is very unlikely that the number of levels available in the Multi-Level List Numbering will ever be increased, if you can provide more information on what you want to do, we may be able to suggest another way of achieving it.
Perhaps uploading a document to a shared location may be the easiest way to demonstrate the requirement.
