Reminds me of Assassin's Creed. The numbered games (1,2,3) are new characters and timelines, whereas the subtitled sequels in between carry on the story of that character.
I did also suggest 'The Oddworld Quintology: Part 1' a few days ago, which is similar to using numerals I suppose. I like it because it gives the series almost a storybook feel, and in many respects Oddworld is like a dark fairy tale.
It would be clear which games are part of the quintology, and the bonus games could fit the AC model. For example, everything under the 'part 1' moniker would be Abe, 'part 2' would be Munch, and so on. Perhaps something like 'The Oddoworld Quintology: Abe's Exoddus' could follow, to show it is a continuation of the first character and not the beginning of the next.
Additional games like SW would work nicely as they are (as in 'Oddworld: title') as it shows they are related to the Oddworld franchise but not Quintology characters.
