This shouldn't be a problem if you use an equal sign rather than an asterisk
at the end of the workstation ID.  In this case the sequence will be 1-9
then A-Z, but it will use the first device available, not the session
identifier.  If this works as it is supposed to, the first session on system
A should have a device name ending in 1 and so should the first session on
system B.
