Not really.  %%1 simply takes the value of each file.  There is no simple
way of incrementing a number, except for one messy way.

Change the existing batch file to contain:
set ARTIST=Dido
set TRACK=1
for %%f in (*.wav) do call ogg.bat %%f

Then create a new batch file called ogg.bat with the following:
oggenc -q4 -a %ARTIST% -N %TRACK%
if %TRACK%==15 set TRACK=16
if %TRACK%==14 set TRACK=15
if %TRACK%==13 set TRACK=14
if %TRACK%==12 set TRACK=13
if %TRACK%==11 set TRACK=12
if %TRACK%==10 set TRACK=11
if %TRACK%==9 set TRACK=10
if %TRACK%==8 set TRACK=9
if %TRACK%==7 set TRACK=8
if %TRACK%==6 set TRACK=7
if %TRACK%==5 set TRACK=6
if %TRACK%==4 set TRACK=5
if %TRACK%==3 set TRACK=4
if %TRACK%==2 set TRACK=3
if %TRACK%==1 set TRACK=2

One thing to note, the files will encode in the order they appear in the
directory (dir *.wav), and not necessarily in alphabetical order.  If the
directory was empty before hand then it should be OK.
