You will need a custom snippet to get the sequence of docs for the menu. Are all the docs under the same parent? Are the document IDs sequential? If so then you can use php to generate a list of ID’s based on the range and then use the output as the &documents parameter in Ditto:

[!Ditto? &documents=`[[SnippetToGetSequence? &start=`78` &end=`90`]]` ....rest of ditto call...!]

In php use the range() function to create an array with all the numbers in the range, then use a foreach() loop to output the range as a comma delimited list

You could use the same principal from above with wayfinder:

[!Wayfinder &startId=`put parent ID here` &includeDocs=`[[SnippetToGetSequence? &start=`78` &end=`90`]]`!]

To use the limit parameter 78 would need to be the first child and the limit would be the difference &limit=`12` to only show 12 documents. This will only work if 78 is the first child.

Here is a simple snippet to generate the list from a start/end number.

<?php

$start = (isset($start) && is_numeric($start)) ? $start : '';
$end = (isset($end) && is_numeric($end)) ? $end : '';

$output = '';

if(($start != '') && ($end != '')){
    foreach(range($start, $end) as $num){
        $output .= $num.',';
    }
    $output = rtrim($output, ',');
}

return $output;
?>

Use it like [[range? &start=`78` &end=`90`]]. The output willl be:

78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90
