Some anomalies exist, such as the Alpha Quadrant Ferengi having the low number of 180, which may hint at an early first contact with the Borg under unusual circumstances. Numbers do not appear to be re-used even after the species has been assimilated.

Why did the Ferengi have such a low designation number?

It’s very possible that the Ferengi had a warp ‘mishap’ that stranded a vessel far from its starting point and that it encountered a very early Borg vessel that, itself, had just acquired Transwarp. When you add these two events together, you get a very low designation number for the Ferengi.

Did the Ferengi ever meet the Borg in the Delta Quadrant?

Naturally, they never returned to tell the tale.
