When openSSL uses /dev/urandom, then even the last 5 digits will be random.

OpenSSL private keys aka. 256-bit random numbers by themselves will not help with reducing the number of keys, however it is estimating the bias (as in - empirically, some bits will appear in a certain state more often than others - when several thousand random numbers are generated) in OpenSSL random numbers this estimation method draws its power from.
