Magnus's QuickStatements tool http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/quick_statements.php can write about 5000 statements an hour at full tilt, so could add those 11,000 identifier values pretty quickly.
It looks like there's no problem slotting the PIC id into the relevant address to make a URL that works -- it would be no problem to specify this as the URL format for the property. And if/when a shorter form of URL were to become available it would be no problem to change to this, just by changing the URL formatter for the property.

Actually, Nemo, I haven't yet added them to mix-n-match (though we've discussed previously). I turned all my focus back to preparing the site for launch, thinking it better to engage WD once the site was actually live. I did just submit a proposal for a external ID property. I'll look at mix-n-match again tomorrow. Thanks, all! d

Also, I should have pointed out that I have 11,000 Wikidata < http://pic.nypl.org/map/?address.AddressTypeID=*&address.CountryID=*&...
entities matched in PIC already. Is there a quick & easy way to get those in?
IIRC you said you already added those matches to mix-n-match. When the property exists, Magnus is usually very fast at importing the associations into Wikidata with his bot. :)
