Why do you assume a limited number of souls? Perhaps there are infinitely many. In fact, even this assumption is unnecessary. Simply assume a finite but relatively large number of souls such that the number of souls far exceeds the current world population (say, a googol).

We can also get around this limitation by assuming 'souls' are simply tiny parts of an infinitely large whole, which continually divides itself upon new births. Again, our definition of 'infinite' in this scenario is quite flexible.
