One simple solution is to restrict the total length of the name to NAME_MAX, truncating the original filename as necessary to allow appending. This does introduce the possibility of conflicts with very long names which happen to end in numeric strings, but that is likely to be rare and could be resolved in an ad hoc fashion (e.g. flipping a bit in the representation of "inode number" until a unique name is achieved).
