Changing Default Numbering Sequence in Word 2016

I am working on a document that needs the numbering to continue as (aa), (ab), (ac), (ad) etc after (z). Word automatically changes to an (aa), (bb), (cc) sequence and I can't seem to find how to change this. How can I change the automatic numbering to use my preferred format?

Unfortunately Word does not have that flexibility.

You can suggest the addition of that sequence.
