There is no good answer here. ambpdb is following the PDB format requirements
that allow only 4 digits for the residue number. The result of "savepdb"
actually violates the PDB format, but may be more useful in some other
contexts. Since you have both formats available to you, choose the one that
best fits your needs.

The PDB itself is addressing this problem by abandoning the current 80-column
format, and moving to mmcif. But this will be a slow process, since many,
many current programs expect the 80-column format that is not suited for
systems with more than 10,000 residues.
