seems that with your scheme you would run out of episodes
that you can record pretty quickly.

and, it seems to me that this is already the case. if you
have 2 "record" entries for the same show visually you are
going to see more than the X episodes you selected in your
"Max Episodes" in one of the recording options.

replaytv takes care of this by moving the "saved" episode to
another group.

i think that when you say "keep this episode" it should move
the type of recording to "once" 

so it would:

1) create a new entry in record with a new recordid and change the type

2) update the recorded entry to reflect the new recordid
