“Incidentally the serial number of the younger of the Nordyke twins, 10638, is still 3 numbers less that BHO Jr.’s, even though he was supposedly born almost a full day earlier, in the same hospital (this week anyway) and the online COLB also indicates his BC was filed 3 days before those of the Nordyke twins, Aug. 8 verse Aug 11. . Something to make you go “hmmm”.”

What evidence is there that Hawaii BC’s are numbered according to time of birth?
Here’s my informed guess as to the reason for the numbers difference:
In 1961, the Hawaiian birth rate was a bit under 50 births per day. One clerk could easily process a day’s worth of birth reports before lunch break.
I’m guessing that the birth reports from hospitals would arrive by mail, and the clerk would sort them in alphabetical order by name for easy filing, then process them. Hmmm.... Could it be that the three BC numbers between “Nordyke” and “Obama” have names alphabetically between “Nordyke” and “Obama”? Call me crazy, but that’s what I’m guessing.
Nice theory, but Obama's COLB also says his was filed by registrar on Aug. 8th, while those of the Nordyke twins say they were filed Aug. 11th. (there is a slight difference in terminology from the '61 Certificates and the 2007ish COLBs. and not just Obummer's), so if the COLB date were correct even under your "process a day's worth before lunch", which is probably correct, his would have been done 3 days before theirs, and so should have a number around 150 less than theirs.
