Possible, but 272 has been blank for a while to my (limited) knowledge. Not much reason to change that, it's not like they need a number for a History 2 +1, because 274 could be freed up from an HD swap, and 275 is free already anyway if H2 wasn't swapped out.
History ,+1 and 2 would still be right next to each other on the EPG, and VM wouldn't put another channel from a rival in that slot so it wouldn't matter. Plus it would have the bonus that the number would be familiar already, customers prefer things not to change as they'd have to rememorise them.
It's quite possible VM have a Sky-style mass renumbering (i.e. what Sky did with +1 channels) in mind in a few months time. Why cause unnecessary hassle in the mean time? Multiple HD swaps will create spaces that make a large renumbering easier later on and waiting until the swaps are complete will annoy customers less.
