Placing access to page number format under 'insert-page numbers' gives the
distinct impression that you are required to insert page numbers again to
format them.

Since page numbers are formatted per section, it seems fair to place page
number formatting with other properties that apply to sections, the 'page
setup'. Unless it could be squeezed into the layout tab, it should get its
own tab.
