And yes, the 777's have multiple configurations:

...
26xx - 777B, 3 class, C+, Y+ (10F)
28xx - 777B, 3 class, C+, (10F)
...

So does United change the nose number of a plane if it gets reconfigured? What happens if 28xx goes into the shop and they reconfigure it for E+ (let's just say they wanted to add E+ to more of the fleet)... will it be renumbered 26xx? Or do the nose numbers lose their meaning over time?
