What do the last two digits in the model number stand for, and what are the ranges?
I have a L4330. Do I assume that there was a L4300, 4310, 4320, 4340, etc?
Does each series run for a specific number of years, or just when they make changes to the model?
Or am I totally off base in my thinking?

First two digits are horse power. 2nd two digits are series. Yours is a grand L 30 series. That was replaced by the 40 series... Which was recently replaced by the 60 series.

I'm not aware of a specified model change interval... Whenever deemed necessary most likely.

Even better from the site linked above is their listing of prior models. There's a bunch.

Grand L3540 here with 724 loader and many attachments, Started with a BX23TLB then to a B3200TLB and now my L3540 which is just a great tractor. Very strong loader, never been under powered. I run a LP3584 rear blade and a LA2675 three point snow blower and with all the snow we had this year, removal was effortless, the HST Auto rocks.

I am not positive what Kubota uses as criteria to change the model number. Normally it's a specific amount of changes required. Some manufacturers will also do a series change without changing the model #. You see that in construction equipment a lot. I've ran JD road graders for 25 years and have had two "Series II" machines of the same model number. My old ford 3910, in later years, was tagged as a 3910 Series II. I don't recall Kubota ever doing that though. In the last 15 years powertrain changes have been common. Those changes usually dictate a model number change.

The L 4600 was replaced by L4710 a 4 tier go figure

Not picking on anyone but it should be listed as "Final Tier 4" engine... the L4600, L3800 and L3200 were "Interim Tier 4". The start of Interim Tier IV was when the L2800, L3400 and the L4400 had the "Extra Power" sticker added to them in 2008 or so...
