No, you're pretty much on track. You can also just include the field multiple times if you want, itemModelNoExactMatchStr:123-4567 OR itemMOdelNoExactMatchStr:345-034985
But itemModelNoExactMatchStr:(123-4567 OR 345-034985) works just as well and is more compact. 15 terms is actually quite short by Solr standards, the default cap is 1024 boolean clauses, which you can change, it's just there to catch pathalogical (usually machine-generated) huge queries and make sure you consciously make a decision that it's OK.
