Doesn't matter. When the index is being created, if the first one is on page one, the second on page 2 and so on, I would get Index results showing:
Smith, John... 1, 2, 3
Smith, John A... 2, 3
Smith, John Adam... 3
Even though they may be "different" John Smiths, they would still be combined anyways. And the likelihood of different John Smiths (with the names I am dealing with) is pretty minimal and not worth worrying about.
