If most of your books are in the same tag or genre (or you don't use tags), then this template might be better.

Code:
{author_sort:.1}/{author_sort}/{series_index:0>3s} {series} - {title} - {authors}
It gives you top level A, B, C, D, ..., Z folders for your authors. That should greatly reduce the chances of hitting the 2000 item per folder limit.
I realize I may have to go into the Calibre forums for more information, but I wanted to bring up one more thing. I have added your template and it makes no change to the folder structure of either of my Kindles. I noticed that for my Kobos, each author has it's own folder, last name, first name, with any books by that author inside. All of the Calibre settings are the same. If Calibre is what is controlling the folder/file structure, why would my Kindles be different from my Kobos?
