Use a data structure.

In the simplest case (when lookup time is not critical), just use a
linear structure, an alist: For each VOL, define an alist with elements
(pagelimit . filename) with `defconst'.  To implement
`mandoku-cbeta-vol-page-to-file', find the first entry whose car is not
smaller than the given page in a loop.  Return the cdr of the found
cons.
