I think you are on your own here.  The @Illustration symbol does not
produce the kind of elaborate scaffolding that you get with @Book
and the others.  By the time you've done your own numbering it's
probably simplest to abandon @Figure altogether and just write

    @Graph { ... }
    @LP
    Figure 3.  Effect of flapping of butterfly wings in Congo on
    weather in New York.

Illustrations don't have any defined width so you'll have a problem
with the caption as well (is including the caption in the EPS file
the right decision, by the way?) if it's multi-line.  Altogether
I think you need your own symbol:

    import @BasicSetup
    def @MyFigure
        named @Number {}
        named @Caption {}
        right @Body
    {
        12c @Wide {
            @Centre @Body
            @LP
            { @B { Figure @Number }. &2s } @Insert @Caption
        }
    }

etc.  This will need playing with a bit, depending on how you want
to handle the width question.
